Evaluation of isothermal kinetic of sweetener

Summary Sulfonylureas are widely used for the treatment of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Glibenclamide belongs to the group of substituted arylsulfonylureas. Many representative of this group shows polymorphism. The purpose of this work was to investigate the thermal behaviour and compatibility between glibenclamide and some excipients using thermoanalytical techniques (TG-DTG/DSC). The thermal and isothermal kinetics data showed incompatibility between glibenclamide and magnesium stearate.

Determination of Artificial Sweeteners by High-Performance Ion-Mobility Spectrometry with Electrospray Ionization

There are increasing demands for simple, rapid, low-cost, and green methods for the determination of artificial sweeteners that are of concern because of their toxicity. Acesulfame-K, sodium saccharin, sodium cyclamate, aspartame, and neotame were determined by high-performance ion-mobility spectrometry with direct electrospray ionization (ESI-HPIMS). The resolving power exceeded 60 in both positive- and negative-ion modes. The single acquisition time was less than 10?s and the total analysis time was under 2?min which is faster than traditional chromatography methods. Calibration curves were established for the sweeteners at concentrations from 0.1 to 1.5 or 2.0?mg/L with correlation coefficients of approximately 0.99. The combination of simple sample preparation, fast analysis, high sensitivity, robustness, green properties, and low cost makes ESI-HPIMS a promising technique for the determination of acesulfame-K, sodium saccharin, sodium cyclamate, aspartame, and neotame in water and beverages.

Determination of trace elements in liquid aspartame sweeteners by ICP OES and ICP-MS following acid digestion

In order to determine inorganic constituents and contaminants in liquid aspartame sweeteners, different brands of this product were analyzed by ICP OES and ICP-MS. The samples were submitted to acid digestion and parameters such as internal standardization and wavelengths, in the case of ICP OES, and a recovery test were evaluated. The analytes studied were As, Ca, Cd, Co, Cu, K, Fe, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Se and Zn. Since there is not a certified reference material for sweeteners, the accuracy of the proposed method was evaluated by recovery tests and the values were in the range of 90–110% for the majority of the analytes. The detection limits for the elements determined by ICP OES were in the range 0.01 (Mn)– 2.0 (K) μg g⁻¹ while those determined by ICP-MS were 0.001 μg g⁻¹ for all the elements except Mn and As (0.002 μg g⁻¹). The relative standard deviations were below 12% for ICP OES and below 14% for ICP-MS determinations. The mean concentration of the elements detected by ICP OES (Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, and Zn) varied according to the brand. The other analytes, were determined by ICP-MS. For these elements, a significant variation in their concentrations was also found for different samples, except for Co and Ni. The use of both multielemental techniques allowed the evaluation of the inorganic composition and the rapid determination of several elements in aspartame sweeteners, with adequate accuracy.     

Improved Multianalyte Determination of the Intense Sweeteners Aspartame and Acesulfame‐K with a Solid Sensing Zone Implemented in an FIA Scheme

Abstract

A multianalyte flow‐through sensor is proposed for the simultaneous determination of aspartame (AS) and acesulfame‐K (AK) in tabletop sweeteners. The procedure is based on the transient retention of AK in the ion exchanger Sephadex DEAE A‐25 placed in the flow‐through cell of a monochannel flow injection analysis (FIA) set‐up using pH 2.70 ortophosphoric acid/sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer 0.06 M as carrier. In these conditions AS is very weakly retained, which makes it possible to measure the intrinsic ultraviolet (UV) absorbance of first AS and then AK after desorption by the carrier itself. The applicable concentration range, the detection limit, and the relative standard deviation were the following: for AS, from 10 to 100 µg mL^?1; 5.65 µg mL^?1; 3.4% (at 50 µg mL^?1); and for AK, between 40 and 100 µg mL^?1; 11.9 µg mL^?1 and 1.61% (at 50 µg mL^?1). The method was applied and validated satisfactorily for the determination of AS and AK blends in tabletop sweeteners. The results were compared against an HPLC reference method.
