In the Guidelines on Nutrition Labelling in Japan, ligand-exchange columns of 7.8-8.0mm I.D. x 300mm Length are adopted for the analysis of sugar alcohols. SUGAR SP0810 is a polymer-based (sulfonated polystyrene gel) ligand-exchange column having counter ions of Pb²⁺. This chromatogram shows the analysis result of typical saccharide and sugar alcohol standards using SUGAR SP0810.
