Fluorimetric determination of sugars on HPTLC plates

Carbohydrates

“…The fluorescing spots are visible under UV light at 366 nm. In this condition, no fluorescence is obtained with nonreducing sugars such as alcohols (e.g., mannitol, sorbitol, meso-erythritol, mesoinositol) and C,-C, linked di-and oligosaccharides (e.g., sucrose, raffinose, and trehalose) (75).…”
