The National Standards of China GB 1886.385‑2025* “National Food Safety Standard – Determination of Food Additive Polydextrose” specifies the use of a column packed with a sulfonated styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer. SUGAR SH1011 confirmed the requirement was met. Additionally, good separation of the three substances specified within the method was observed.

Column requirements

Separation mode: Size exclusion + ion exchange
Molecular weight exclusion limit: ≥ 1,000
Theoretical plate number: ≥ 17,000
Column size: 8 mm (I.D.) x 300 mm (length)

System suitability requirement Difference between two replicate measurements under repeatability conditions: ≤ 5% of the mean of the two measurements
