Abstract
Rapid methods of analysis for the simultaneous determination of acids and sugars in fruits and vegetables using trimethylsilylation and gas chromatography are reported. The methods have been shown to be generally applicable, rapid, simple and cheap. Typical applications are shown involving the determination of a range of organic acids and sugars in carrot, potato, cucumber, tomato, apple, pear, grape, strawberry and citrus fruits.Keywords
