| Abstract
The amounts of formic acid and formaldehyde formed as result of
oxidation of a D (–) fructose molecule by potassium peroxydisulphate
[S2O82-] were estimated. The values estimated were confirmed by the
mechanism of the reaction through analysis of the redox reaction products
which revealed the presence of formaldehyde and formic acid. |
