Abstract
A descending method of paper partition chromatography of sugars has been devised, where solutions of sulfate of hexosamines and non-amino sugars are adjusted to pH 5.8 with H2SO4 and irrigated with n-butanol-pyridine-water (5:3:2) or n-utylacetate-acetic acid-ethanol-water(3:2:1:1)
. Chromatograms of traganth and mucinogen of toad and frog eggcovering (hydrolysates) were given as examples.
Through the Grant Committee for Scientific Researches was given a grant from the Education Department in aid to us. H. Masamune.
