Further studies have been made on the separation of sugars and related compounds by the ion-exchange chromatography of their borate complexes on strong-base anion exchangers. Sugars known to occur in complex mixtures, such as those obtained from plants, have been studied with regard to their elution characteristics. The following compounds have been included in this study: raffinose, rhamnose, stachyose, sorbose, gentiobiose, melibiose, melezitose, turanose, sedoheptulose, sedoheptulosan, dulcitol, sorbitol and mannitol. A procedure for the removal of borate from the isolated sugar-borate complexes is presented as part of the process for recovery of the pure sugar.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
