Optimization of reactions between reducing sugars and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) by response surface methodology

Reducing sugars have strong reactivity with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) to form the sugar-PMP derivatives, which can be more accurately analyzed by HPLC-UV at 248 nm. Glucose and glucosamine reacted with the PMP based on the response surface methodology within a range of temperature between 60 °C and 80 °C, and time between 60 and 180 min. The optimal conditions for the glucose-PMP and glucosamine-PMP reactions were obtained at 71 °C...
