Abstract
A quantitative study showed that in both cases, about 83% of the ingested substance could be accounted for by the products excreted in the urine. Of vanillin 14% was excreted unoxidised and conjugated mainly (a) as glucurovanillin (31%), isolated as the [beta]-naphthylhydrazone, or the 2:4-dinitrophenylhydrazone, or (b) as ethereal sulphate (8%). 69% of the vanillin fed was oxidised to vanillic acid, 44% excreted as free vanillic acid and 25% conjugated; glucurovanillic acid was shown to be o-methoxy-p-car-boxyphenyl-[beta]-d-glucopyranuronoside. Of vanillic acid, 56% was excreted as free vanillic acid and 27% conjugated.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
