Gas Chromatographic Analysis of Sugars in Granola Cereals

Abstract
Fourteen granola cereals from seven different manufacturers were analyzed for sugars with a gas chromatographic technique that determines the type and amount of all the common food sugars. The total sugar content of the cereals ranged from 22–32% of dry weight. Sucrose was the predominant sugar, along with varying amounts of fructose and glucose. Several cereals also contained lactose. New sampling procedures have been developed for these heterogeneous mixtures.
