Abstract
IT has been found that the barbituric and thiobarbituric acids are suitable to discrimination of xylose from arabinose and other sugars. Good results have also been noted by using the spot test, as by spraying the developed chromatograms with the reagent. 0.5 gm. barbituric or 0.25 gm. thiobarbituric acid dissolved in 50 c.c. glacial acetic acid.
