THE SEPARATION OF SUGARS ON ION-EXCHANGE RESINS: PART II. SEPARATION OF MONOSACCHARIDES

Abstract

Columns of neutral salt forms of sulphonic acid type ion-exchange resins have been shown to be useful in separations of monosaccharide mixtures with water as the developing solvent. A number of synthetic mixtures and a series of plant extracts have been resolved into clean, salt-free fractions by use of the new technique. The procedure is analogous to column partition chromatography, but in many cases it is more rapid and gives a useful extension of separability.
