Excerpt:
During investigations on the minor sugars of honey, a technique for the isolation of disaccharides, not separable by paper chromatography, was needed. This paper describes the separation by gradient elution of four such pairs of sugars: turanose-sucrose, isomaltose-gentiobiose, maltulose-nigerose, and melibiose-lactose. Four other pairs of sugars (maltulose- sucrose, maltulose-maltose, sucrose-
maltose, and turanose-isomaltose), although separable on paper, were also separated by this method.
