Determination of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural and Furfural in Soft Beverages by HPLC

Abstract:

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural (F) could be formed in soft beverages of rich sugar during process, and often used as an index of heat treatment. HMF was also considered as potentially carcinogenic to humans. High performance liquid chromatography was used to determine HMF and F contents of 26 soft beverage samples. The HMF contents were in a range 0.17-8.26 mg/L for 11 carbonated beverages, 0.37-22.23 mg/L for 8 fruit juice beverages and 0.05-1.63 mg/L for 7 tea beverages. The F contents were in a range 0.87-6.78 mg/L for 8 fruit juice beverages, but lower than 0.39 mg/L and 0.37 mg/L for 11 carbonated and 7 tea beverages, respectively. The highest contents of HMF and F were 22.23 mg/L and 6.78 mg/L. The contents of HMF and F in the group of tea beverage were the lowest among three groups of beverage samples.
