A modified procedure of the cysteine-carbazole reaction for the determination of fructose is described. By incubating the components of the color reaction at 40°C for 1 hr, fructose is determined with good sensitivity (the millimolar absorbance value of 29.3) and specificity (the color intensity ratio of fructose to glucose is about 240). When the principle of the two-point determination is applied to this modified procedure (1 hr and 3 hr at 40°C), fructose as small an amount as 0.4μg in the presence of 250-fold excess of glucose can be determined with an error of about 10%.
