Paper chromatography of sugars

For the paper chromatography of sugar sulfates, many of the solvent systems used for sugars have been tried, with varied success. Systems containing pyridine generally cause streaking of sulfates and are of little use. Neutral and acidic solvents will often give separations, but the R / values...

Some developing solvents used in paper chromatography of sugars contain ammonia. With such solvents the formation of glycosylamines may occur. Such products may be identified by their reactions with ninhydrin 63). 

Paper and Partition Chromatography.- Ternary solvent combinations have been re-examined for the paper chromatography of sugars, with rhamnose, arabinose and galactose being used as probes. A useful mixture (EtOAc-EtOH-HaO) was promoted. ... 

A more extensive description of the problems of the paper chromatography of sugars is beyond the scope of this treatise, and therefore the reader should refer to specialized literature (86).

An investigation by paper chromatography of the products of hydrolysis of a mixed polysaccharide (28) indicated that the mixed polysaccharide contained, in addition to glucose units, repeating units of four amino sugars, two of which were identified as 3-deoxy-3-amino-altrose and 2-deoxy-2-aminoglucose. The 3-aminoaltrose formed was found to be 80% of the total amino sugar content of the hydrolysate.
