Part of the book series: Modern Methods of Plant Analysis / Moderne Methoden der Pflanzenanalyse ((PFLANZENANAL.,volume 2))

Abstract

The analyst of plant tissue is confronted by a complex system containing saccharides of varying chemical natures, different stabilities and a variety of physical properties. Cellulose, so chemically resistant and so physically inert, occupies one end of the system; the other is occupied by chemically active and readily soluble monosaccharides. A host of intermediaries may also be present according to the biological origin of the tissue. In addition, inorganic ions, characteristic of vegetable organisms are certain to accompany the organic components which usually include non-carbohydrate compounds of types which interfere with carbohydrate analysis.
