where
WS = the weight, in mg, of Reference Standard Xylitol used for the Standard
solution
WU = the weight, in mg, of the sample taken for the Assay preparation
RU and RS = the ratios of peak responses of the derivatized analyte to the
derivatized erythritol from the Internal Standard solution obtained from the
Sample Preparation and the Standard Solution, respectively. Using the
value obtained in the water determination, correct the percentage to the
anhydrous basis.
