High-performance liquid chromatographic isolation of 14C-labelled gluco-oligosaccharides, monosaccharides and sugar degradation products on ion-exchange resins.

Gluco-oligosaccharides, monosaccharides and sugar degradation products in biomass hydrolysates were isolated in milligram amounts by means of high-performance liquid chromatography on various ion-exchange stationary phases. Also, radioactively labelled carbohydrates and sugar decomposition products that had been obtained on hydrolysis of 14C-marked biomass were isolated and are thus available as reference samples.
