Studies of the separation and characterisation of mixtures of starch and cellulose derivatives by use of chromatography and mass spectrometry
(2007) In Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry 387(6). p.2045-2055- Abstract
- In this work a method was developed for characterisation of commercially available polymers consisting of mixtures of substituted cellulose and starch. Selective hydrolysis with specific enzymes was used to achieve separation of the two polymers in the mixture. Enzymes hydrolysing (1 -> 4)-alpha-D and (1 -> 6)-alpha-D-glycosidic bonds were used for the starch part and enzymes hydrolysing (1 -> 4)-beta-D-glycosidic bonds for the cellulose part. The hydrolysed fraction was separated from the unhydrolysed fraction and characterised by use of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), to confirm that enzyme hydrolysis of the different polymers had occurred. High-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) was performed to determine... (More)

High-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) was performed to determine the amount of unmodified glucose units (UGU) in the fractions. Electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESIMS) was used for determination of the substituents. All products were converted to monomers by acid hydrolysis to simplify mass spectral identification of the substituents. The monomers were further subjected to acetylation with acetic acid anhydride to facilitate identification of the substituents. By combining the results from the different analytical techniques a picture of the samples was obtained. (Less)
