[Objective] To accurately determine the components and content of fermentable sugars in wort. [Method] The components and content of fermentable sugars in wort made from degermed corn extruded at low temperature as beer adjunct were determined by HPLC. [Result] The contents of sugar components were shown as below: fructose was 3.8 g/L, glucose was 7.4 g/L, sucrose was 4.2 g/L, maltose was 53.8 g/L and maltotriose was 10.6 g/L.The content of the five fermentable sugars had good linear relation within their peak area in the determination range, the correlation coefficient was 0.977 6-0.990 7, the recoveries of samples were >96%, the standard deviation was 1.27%-3.26%. [Conclusion] The method is simple and rapid with high sensitivity and good reproducibility, it provides reliable and accurate analytic method for determining the components of fermentable sugars in wort made from degermed corn extruded at low temperature as beer adjunct.
