title: Determination of trans-galactooligosaccharides in selected food products by ion-exchange chromatography: collaborative study.
abstract: Eleven collaborating laboratories assayed 7 blind duplicate pairs of food and feed products for tans-galactooligosaccharides. The 7 laboratory sample pairs ranged from low (2%) to high levels (15%). Following the proposed method, the test samples were treated with beta-galactosidase and the released galactose was determined by ion-exchange chromatography. Repeatability standard deviation ranged from 2.9 to 11.6%; reproducibility standard deviation ranged from 4.6 to 11.6%.
