Abstract
The decomposition of glycollic acid solutions induced by gamma - radiation in vacuo and in the presence of oxygen was followed quantitatively. The concentrations of glycollic, glyoxylic, tartaric, oxalic, and formic acid, formaldehyde, and carbon dioxide were measured directly, and by new colorimetric methods in the cases of glycollic and glyoxylic acid. A mass balance for carbon was obtained, and degradation pathways are advanced to explain the results. (auth)
