Abstract

D. K. Gupta and R. M. Shrivastava

Penodate oxidation reaction is one of the most important reaction used in structural study of non-cellulosic polysacchandes. The penodate oxidation study was done using sodium metaperiodate as oxidant in analysis the method proposed by Fleury and Lange was used. The mole of penodate consumed during penodate oxidation reaction of hemicellulose was determined volumetncally .The composition and probable structure have also been elucidated with the informations obtained from penodate oxidation on purified fraction of Sansevieria hyacinthoids hemicellulose.
