Determination of anions, cations, and sugars in coconut water by capillary electrophoresis

This work presents the determination of several analytes in coconut water by using capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection (CCD). It was analyzed 5 different samples: two unprocessed (natural) coconut water and three processed (commercial) ones. The samples were injected without pretreatment and only a simple dilution was necessary. The technique was applied to quantify 12 analytes: chloride, sulfate, phosphate, malate, ascorbate, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, fructose, glucose, and sucrose with limit of detection (LOD) of 0.09, 0.12, 0.50, 0.97, 1.2, 0.05, 0.17, 0.12, 0.08, 5.4, 7.4, and 8.9 mg L-1, respectively. These analysis were done utilizing four different running buffers.
