Carbohydrates of weil-defined molecular weight in plant juices


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT THE attempt to bring the solid carbohydrates of plants and animals, for example, cellulose, starch, glycogen and their derivatives into solution has so far resulted in polydisperse


systems not possessing well-defined molecular weights1. This fact may be taken as an indication that the question is wrongly put ; that such structures as cellulose and starch do not


spontaneously form particles of definite mass (molecules) and therefore cannot be broken down to real molecular dispersion without profound chemical change. Access through your institution
