Figure 3:GC-MS extracted ion chromatograms (m/z = 217) of a mixture of standard saccharides and polyalcohols upon derivatization (18 h at 70°C) with a) MSFTA with ACN, b) BSTFA (1%TMCS), c) BSTFA 1% TMCS with ACN, d) BSTFA (1% TMCS) with pyridine. The stars mark peaks of the completely derivatized sucrose and glucose.
