Abstract

An analytical method for the determination of carbohydrates is described, which is based on the enthalpimetric signal obtained at the beginning of the reaction with periodate. The apparatus is described and relevant aspects of the procedure are discussed. Single carbohydrates can be determined in a few minutes with a precision of 1%. Analysis of mixtures of glucose and fructose is reported.
