Abstract
A method for the estimation of pyruvic acid in human milk using 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine wag described, including the following two points of modification: 1. Utilizing chemodazol for the deprotenization of human milk and 2. the use of monoiodoacetic acid for the inhibition of increas-ing pyruvate value in human milk left to stand.
The method is, as above described, a colorimetric one, so the final identification shall be made by strictly chemical method. We shall be able to report such a result in near future.
