Thermolysis of Carbohydrates in Oxygen‐free Atmosphere Part IV. Thermal Gravimetric and Differential Thermal Analysis of Mono‐ and Disaccharides

Abstract

Abstract Thermal analysis (TG, DTG and DTA) was carried out on all α‐ D ‐(+)‐glucose, D (−)‐fructose, β‐ D (+)‐maltose and (+)‐sucrose at low rate of the temperature increase. The measurements are conducted in the air as well as under argon and carbon dioxide. The role of atmosphere in the thermolysis of sugar is evident.
