A technique for measurement of methylmalonic acid in cattle urine.
Methylmalonic acid was measured in cattle urine by decarboxylating it to propionate with sulfuric acid and heat and quantifying the propionate so formed by gas-liquid chromatography. Crystalline methylmalonic acid added to cow urine was recovered quantitatively.
