Abstract
Duplicate samples of heart muscle were heated in 10% aq. KOH, one for 1/2 hr., and the other for 5 hr. The inositol was estimated by isolation and weighing. Combined inositol, set free by treatment with alkali, was not present. Inositol was found to suffer considerable destruction when boiled with KOH.
