Last decade novel carbohydrate dietary or prebiotic fibre are being developed. Products are being sent for novel food applications (Gras, Efsa, ..). To meet acceptance criteria and enable commercialization new and highly accurate and discriminative carbohydrate quantification methods are needed. Using traditional gravimetric-LC carbohydrate, sugar and fibre methods are not capable of providing accuracy and specificity to support novel food dossiers for toxicity and stability testings as well composition testing in foods. One would need new methods to do so. Calculation of carbohydrates by 100-minus methods no longer will do. Examples of novel carbohydrate ingredients are milk oligosaccharides, fermentation based carbohydrates, algae based carbohydrates, hemicellulose based oligosaccharides (AXOS), and pectin based oligosaccharides (POS) and foods made thereof. Analogous to accepted proteomic and amino acid profiling approaches also glycomic or so-called carbohydrate composional profiling based methods are developed using modern UHPLC-FLD-MS methods. This presentation will show not only the suitability in scientific research and the developement of the Davis Food glycopedia or glycan nutrition encyclopedia but also the potential as validated reproducible QA methods.
