Abstract
The muturotation reaction of alpha-D-glucose in ethanol-water solvent in a modified commercial microwave oven, when compared with control re actions carried out al identical temperatures, shows a non-thermal mic rowave effect, evidenced both by a more rapid reaction and by a change in relative amounts of alpha- and beta-D-glucose over time.
