Abstract:It has been found that boric acid and chloride ions suppress the reducing power of glucose and maltose. While boric acid does not affect the linearity of absorbance versus concentration curves, nonlinearities may occur if chloride is present in the solution to be analyzed. It has also been found that the proper upper limit of the alkaline copper method is 175 μg/ml for glucose, as opposed to the commonly adopted value of 300 μg/ml.
It has been found that carbon dioxide gas is an efficient acid‐catalyst to promote hydrolysis of a solution of sucrose. The conditions for this reaction to proceed have been found to be dependent on the partial pressure of the gas.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
