The goal of this work is to evaluate the formation of side α-dicarbonyl compounds in high content sugar samples. These compounds may be originated from fructose and glucose, during different derivatization reactions. The formation of D-glucosone, 3-deoxyglucosone, glyoxal, and methylglyoxal, using three derivatization agents (5,6-diamino-2,4-hydroxypyrimidine, 2,4,5-triamine-6-hydroxypyrimidine, and o-phenylenediamine), and ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography in combination with MS detection, has been assessed in the presence of different levels of monosaccharides. 2,4,5-triamine-6-hydroxy-pyrimidine appears to be the most suitable for the analysis of α-dicarbonyl compounds, in this kind of food samples, and was selected as optimum reagent for the quantification of these compounds. The validation of the method was performed through the establishment of external standard calibration curves and analytical figures of merit, and it showed good linearity over a wide concentration range (r²>0.99), and limits of detection and quantification lower than 42μgL⁻¹ and 142μgL⁻¹, respectively. The validated method has been successfully applied to the determination of the target compounds in honey samples. The intraday and interday assay variability in the analysis of real samples was below 2.3 and 5.7%, respectively, for all analytes.
