Abstract
A rapid method for the analysis of small quantities of materials containing uronic acids was developed. The substance is hydro-lyzed with 12% HC1 in a sealed tube and the CO2 evolved determined in the Van Slyke manometric apparatus. Of some 80% non-uronic acid substances commonly occurring in biological materials which were tested for CO2 evolved in this test, p-aminoben-zoic acid, ascorbic acid, allantoin, alloxan, hypoxanthine, pyruvic acid and urea were found to give more than 2% of their wt. of CO2.
