The efficiency of methods for the analysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) and determination of sucrose, glucose and fructose by HPLC with refractive index detection (HPLC-RI) was evaluated. After optimization of the analytical conditions, the main validation parameters (linearity, quantification limit, detection limit, recovery, sensitivity and precision) were determined and demonstrated that the analytical procedures could be applied to control the process of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) production.
