Kk. Mahalanabis et al., Iodometric method for the determination of the components of a binary mixture of glucose and sucrose by vanadium(v) in perchloric acid, J INDIAN CH, 76(7), 1999, pp. 357-359
Sodium or ammonium metavanadate solution in dilute perchloric acid has been
found to be a suitable reagent for the determination of glucose and sucros
e in their mixture. After refluxing a blend of glucose and sucrose with an
excess of the reagent, the residual metavanadate is determined iodometrical
ly. The amount of each ingredient is determined by using a working formula
derived from the standardisation of the vanadate solution by the substrate
glucose and sucrose of known strength.
