THE CHARACTERIZATION OF PRODUCTS FROM IRRADIATED CARBOHYDRATES. Report No. 4 (Final) for April 20, 1957-September 30, 1958
A paramagnetic resonance study of irradiated crystulline carbohydrates is presented. G values were calculated for a number of irradiated carbohydrates. Irradiation of aqueous D-glucitol (sorbitol) yielded D-glucose, L-gulose, D- arabinose, and L-xylose. This was based on paper chromatcgraphy. Possible paths for these transformations are discussed. D-Arabinose was detected in the product of irradiated D-glucose. Simple carbonyl compounds were also present. Detection and characterization of organic acids in the irradiation product are in progress. The extent of hydrolysis of inulin, maltose, trehalose and raffinose by ionizing radiation is reported. The hydrolysis products were detected by chromatography and ionophoresis. (auth)
