Carbohydrate estimation in food samples

I usually do analysis of carbohydrate content in variety of food samples using phenol sulphuric acid method. I have developed a standard graph using glucose standard for the same. The problem is that for food samples usually results don’t appear to be correct. Can anyone suggest what improvement should be done? Or any method alternative is there?
