Abstract:
A new rapid capillary gas chromatographic method is described for the profile analysis of urinary polyols as their trifluoroacetyl derivatives. Ten urinary polyols: erythritol, threitol, fucitol, ribitol, arabinitol, xylitol, mannitol, glucitol, galactitol and myo-inositol were completely determined for the first time. Iditol was newly found in normal urine. Urinary polyols were verified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
