Abstract
Summary
1. Our values except those for levulose agree with the data of previous investigators.
2. Levulose has a higher reduction value than glucose.
3. The difference in behavior of galactose and glucose toward Folin-Wu copper solution is not due to difference in velocity of reduction or differences in pH, but to structural differences in the two sugars.
4. Glucose picric acid standards used in the Benedict-Lewis methods are stable for a period of at least two years.
