Spectrophotometric determination of some vic-diols.
Conditions have been established for the determination of mannitol and sorbitol (0.4-14 mug), mannose (3.6-18 mug), myoinositol (1.5-6 mug) and pinacol (11-70 mug) by periodate oxidation. The iodate formed is determined spectrophotometrically by reaction with iodide to form tri-iodide. Exce'ss of periodate is masked with molybdate.
