Abstract
A simple procedure for the determination of glyoxal in dialdehyde fragments, formed from glycosides by periodate oxidation, is proposed. By heating sample solutions prepared by dilution of reaction mixtures for periodate oxidation, with an aqueous dimethylsulfoxide solution of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine hydrochloride. followed by addition of an aqueous ethanolic solution of potassium hydroxide, intense color with an absorption maximum at 576 nm developed. The spectrophotoinetric method based on this color reaction makes it possible to determine selectively 1·10 −2–2·10 −1 μmole amounts of conjugated glyoxal without a prior liberation process. Data for glyoxal content obtained by this procedure are discussed in relation to overoxidation.
