An Indirect Polarograpric Method for the Determination of Periodate Oxidizable Organic Compounds

Abstract

An indirect polarographic method is described based on the alprade reaction. The formaldehyde produced is determined by its decrease of the hydroxylamine a-c polarographic wave. Sorbitol, ethanediol, mannitol, ethanolamine, serine and threonine are determined in the range 5 – 30 × 10^?6 M while 2.5 – 10 × 10^?6 M triethanolamine are determinable.
