In order to avoid the interference of aldoses and ketoses in gas chromatographic analysis of sugar-alcohols in urine, a sample preparation was developed using a Dowex 1×8 (OH-) column.
Urinary excretion rate of sugar-alcohols in man was measured by the method after fasting and taking glucose, glucuronolactone or Sake. Whereas the excretion of xylitol was incresed remarkably after administration of glucuronolactone, a slight increase of sugar-alcohols except xylitol was seen, but not in all subjects. The influence of taking Sake was observed on the excretion of erythritol, arabinitol, xylitol and mannitol.
