Abstract A quick and simple method was developed for determination of formaldehyde in maple syrup. In this method, formaldehyde reacts with Fluoral P to form a complex which is chemically extracted by isobutanol and determined by spectrofluorimetry. Performance, as gauged by the limits of detection (0.16 mg/kg) and quantitation (0.21 mg/kg), recovery (>79%), and variability (1.9–16.1%, depending on fortification level and class of syrup) were superior to the current official AOAC standard method.

Hot water extract of sugar and red maple bark was added to maple syrup and dried by freeze (FD) and vacuum drum drying (VD) techniques. Addition of maple bark extracts to syrup helped to develop polyphenols-enriched maple sugar. X-ray diffraction revealed that sugar obtained from FD was amorphous in nature, while crystalline when dried by VD. Furthermore, the observation of maple sugar samples under scanning electron microscopy showed smooth and porous surface for FD sugar, while rough and grainy surface for VD sugar. Hausner ratio indicated that sugar produced by VD showed better flow characteristics than FD sugar. Keywords: drying techniques; maple syrup; phenolics; microstructure

Abstract A procedure is presented for the quantitative extraction and determination of formaldehyde in maple sap and syrup. The method is based on the reaction between formaldehyde and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and determination of the derivative by gas chromatography. The procedure was used to evaluate formaldehyde in saps and syrups of paraformaldehyde implanted trees. Average recoveries were 101.5 ± 5.7%. The detection limit was 0.078 mg/kg
