Rapid estimation of global sugars by UV photodegradation and UV spectrophotometry

The UV/UV method developed for the measurement of specific wastewater pollution parameters (ammonium, Kjeldahl nitrogen, total phosphorus) is adapted to the determination of sugars in fruit juices and soft drinks. The procedure is based on the UV spectrophotometric detection of by-products of UV photodegradation of carbohydrates. Time of analysis is greatly reduced by using specific pH conditions and diluted samples.
