Lactulose
1 Scope
This standard specifies the product classification, requirements, test methods,
inspection rules, marking, packaging, transportation, storage of lactulose.
This standard applies to lactulose, which is produced and processed using lactose as
raw material, through isomerization, centrifugation, purification, concentration and
other processes.

7 Inspection rules
7.1 Group-batch
The products of same type and quality, which are produced by the same batch of
materials, form a batch.
7.2 Sampling and sample retention
The samples are randomly taken from the finished product warehouse, from each batch
based on output. The total sample shall not be less than 500 g.
7.3 Exit-factory inspection
The exit-factory inspection items are sense, lactulose content, moisture, burning residue,
total number of bacterial colonies, coliforms.
7.4 Type inspection
Type inspection items are all the items which are specified in this standard. In general,
type inspection is once every 6 months. In one of the following conditions, type
inspection shall also be carried out:
a) When the raw material and auxiliary material change significantly;
b) When the key process or equipment changes;
c) When the product is trial-produced OR when the production is restored after
suspension of normal production for 3 months;
d) When the exit-factory inspection differs significantly from the results of last type
inspection;
e) When the national quality supervisory inspection institute conducts spot checks,
according to the relevant provisions.
7.5 Judgement rules
7.5.1 If all inspection items of the inspected sample are qualified, THEN, this batch of
products are qualified.
7.5.2 When any one of the sensory requirements and physical-chemical indicators are
unqualified, double the number of samples from this batch of products for re-inspection.
The re-inspection result shall prevail.
7.5.3 When any one of the items of contaminant limit, microbial limit, production
process is unqualified, THEN, this batch of products shall be unqualified.
8 Sign, packaging, transportation, storage
8.1 Sign
Prepackaging labels shall comply with the provisions of GB 7718.
8.2 Packaging
Packaging containers shall be clean AND comply with appropriate hygienic standards.
8.3 Transportation
During transportation, it shall be protected from exposure to the sun and rain. It is
prohibited to transport it together with toxic and harmful substances.
Appendix A
(Normative)
Determination method of lactulose content
A.1 Summary of methods
Use high performance liquid chromatography. Under selected working conditions, use
water as the mobile phase, to separate the components in the sample solution, through
the chromatographic column. Use a differential refractive index detector, for detection.
Use the external standard method or area method, for quantification. Calculate the
lactulose content in the sample.
A.2 Reagents and materials
A.2.1 Water: GB/T 6682-2008, grade-1 water.
A.2.2 Lactulose standard: The purity shall be above 99.0%. Prepare 6 standard solution
series, which have different concentrations (0.1 mg/mL, 0.2 mg/mL, 0.4 mg/mL, 0.8
mg/mL, 1.0 mg/mL, 2.0 mg/mL), in the range of 0.1 mg/mL ~ 10 mg/mL.
A.3 Instruments and equipment
A.3.1 High performance liquid chromatograph: It is equipped with a differential
refractive index detector, or other equivalent detector.
A.3.2 Mobile phase vacuum filtration degassing device and 0.22 μm filter membrane.
A.3.3 Chromatographic column: A column (column size: Φ7.8 mm × 300 mm), which
uses calcium-type strong acid positive ion exchange resin as filler, AND is dedicated
for sugar or sugar alcohol analysis, or equivalent chromatographic column.
A.3.4 Analytical balance: The sensitivity is 0.1 mg.
A.3.5 Micro-sampler: 50 μL.
A.4 Reference chromatographic conditions
