Separation of Fructosyl Oligosaccharides in Maple Syrup by Using Charged Aerosol Detection

Fructosyl oligosaccharides, including fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS), are gaining popularity as functional oligosaccharides and have been found in various natural products. Our previous study suggested that maple syrup contains an unidentified fructosyl oligosaccharide. Because these saccharides cannot be detected with high sensitivity using derivatization methods, they must be detected directly. As a result, an analytical method based […]

Chemical composition and mineralogical residence of maple syrup: A comprehensive review

Abstract Maple syrup is a sweet-tasting product prepared by boiling and concentrating the sap of sugar maple (Acer saccharum March). Because of its potential health benefits (except for people with diabetes and those with blood sugar problems), desirable flavor, and taste, maple syrup is one of most popular natural products in the world. Maple syrup fundamentally consists […]
