P. Parpot et al., ELECTROCATALYTIC OXIDATION OF SUCROSE - ANALYSIS OF THE REACTION-PRODUCTS, Journal of Applied Electrochemistry, 27(1), 1997, pp. 25-33
The analysis of sucronic acids produced by the electrocatalytic oxidat
ion of sucrose is described. The main reaction products, 1'-monocarbox
ylic and 6-monocarboxylic acids of sucrose, were identified by means o
f gas and liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, NMR and i.r. spect
roscopy, and acid hydrolysis. The quantitative analysis of reaction pr
oducts other than the sucronic acids was realized by ionic chromatogra
phy (Dionex), whereas that of the sucronic acids was carried out using
their acid hydrolysis products.
