“…Rocques (1) seems to have been the first to report upon the glucose compound, which Kerp (2) claimed to have isolated, and from solutions of it to have determined the dissociation constant for various concentrations by methods similar to those described in this paper. About the same time Farnsteiner (3) determined the bound bisulfite for some ten sugars in one concentration with bisulfite of approximately constant concentration. Years later Tomoda and Taguchi (4) repeated certain features of the work of both of the last two mentioned workers, and showed also that raffinose, sucrose, and n-fructose did not react.…”
