A method has been established by which to determine aldoses and ketoses in plant material simultaneously. Monosaccharides were extracted by sonication with 80% ethanol and sugar oximes formed by treatment of the resultant extract with hydroxylamine and pyridine at 90C. After reaction, one aliquot of the product was derivatised with acetic anhydride at 90C, whilst a second aliquot was silylated with HMDS and TMCS at 80C. Both reaction mixtures were analysed by GC-MS in the SIM mode. Quantivation was linear within the range 1-4 mg/mL and the detection limit for monosaccharides was 5-25 ng/mL. The absolute recoveries were between 73.0 and 90.2% and the RSDs were 3.1-10.0%. This method was applied to analyse the free monosaccharides in Lyceum barbarum L.; eight monosaccharides were present in amounts between 0.26 and 368.65 mg/mg.
