Ib. Agater et al., DETERMINATION OF CARBOHYDRATES BY FLOW-INJECTION WITH DIRECT CHEMILUMINESCENCE DETECTION, Analytical communications, 33(10), 1996, pp. 367-369
The oxidation of mono- and di-saccharides by permanganate in the prese
nce of Mn-II leads to chemiluminescence, This can be used to determine
individual sugars using flow injection giving a linear response over
three orders of magnitude, Calibration data for the range 10(-4) to 10
(-1) mol dm(-3) are reported for monosaccharides glucose, galactose, f
ructose, arabinose and xylose, for disaccharides lactose and sucrose,
for sugar alcohol mannitol, for glycerol and, for comparison, ascorbic
acid.
