Chemistry of nonenzymic browning: XII. Bisulphite addition compounds of aldose sugars, osones, and some related compounds

Abstract

The sulphur dioxide released by aldose bisulphite addition compounds and their amine derivatives has been measured by the methods of Monier-Williams and Adams and Garber, and by direct iodine titration in acid solution. Bisulphite has been shown to react with glucosone, glycerosone, reductone, 3-deoxy-glucosone, and dehydroascorbic acid and crystalline addition compounds have been isolated from dehydroascorbic acid and glycerosone.
