Description:
It is shown that contrary to the statements of Kluyver and others, maltose undergoes slight hydrolysis (to the extent of about 2% when 1% solutions of maltose are used) when heated with hydrochloric acid under Herzfeld conditions. It is preferable therefore to adopt 10% citric acid, under the conditions formerly laid down, in estimating cane sugar in plant extracts when maltose is likely to be present.
