The anomeric forms of glucose (α and β) and fructose were determined by GLC in both standard solutions and in distilled spirits, using sorbitol as an internal standard. The GLC method for fructose and α and β-glucose compares favorably with the AOAC method for concentrations from about 150 to 225 mg/100 ml. However, at concentrations below 100 mg/100 ml, the GLC method gives generally lower values, probably because the AOAC method measures the amount of reducing sugars and the GLC method measures only α and β-D-glucose and D-fructose
