How Vanguard tests Calcium saccharate

Method for the $250 identity, purity and quantity test: ICP-MS metal content, chromatographic assay of the saccharate counter-ion, with detection selected for the compound, against a reference standard, with results in 3 to 5 business days.

The USP monograph covers identity by a calcium test and infrared spectroscopy, assay by complexometric titration with edetate, chloride, sulfate, sucrose and reducing sugars limit tests, and specific rotation. Full testing to the USP Calcium Saccharate monograph is available and quoted.

What's reported

  • Metal content by ICP-MS, against the label or specification
  • Purity, as percent of total peak area
  • Quantity, against the label claim
  • Identity, reported as match or no match against the reference standard
  • With monograph testing (quoted): the monograph’s tests against its limits

Questions about Calcium saccharate testing

Is the $250 test the same as USP monograph testing?

No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by ICP-MS for calcium content and a chromatographic method suited to the compound for the saccharate part. Full testing to the USP Calcium Saccharate monograph is available and quoted.

Is calcium saccharate related to saccharin?

No. Saccharate here is the salt of saccharic (glucaric) acid, a sugar acid, and has nothing to do with the sweetener saccharin, though the names are easy to mix up.

Why is saccharate hard to see by UV detection?

It is a sugar acid with no aromatic ring, so the lab uses a detection method suited to the compound.
