Abstract:
The structures, mutarotation, and the physicochemical properties of glucose and fructose as well as methods for their separation are examined. Their chromatographic separation on cation exchangers in the calcium-form is discussed in detail. A theory of the formation of complexes of carbohydrates with metal cations is described and the mechanism of the separation of glucose and fructose on cation exchangers in the calcium-form is discussed in detail. Factors influencing the chromatographic separation of glucose and fructose on sulphonic acid cation-exchange resins are also considered. The bibliography includes 138 references.
