Study on detection methods for sorbitol

Sorbitol has been applied as sweetener in “sugar free” food products intended for diabetics for many years. It is also applied as starting material for Vitamin C synthesis. Furthermore, sorbitol is one of polyols commonly used in the treatment of patients with oliguric renal failure. However, more accumulation of sorbitol in tissues has been suspected as one of the causative factors of diabetic...

The biological oxidation of sorbitol.

Sorbitol is fermented in good yields to sorbose by some of the members of the Acetobacter species (1, 2). Resting cells of Acetobacter suboxydans may, in the absence of a source of nitrogen, oxidize sorbitol with the consumption of over 4 atoms of oxygen per molecule of substrate (3, 4). From a study of dinitrophenol action on this organism, the first step in sorbitol oxidation was shown to be ...

Sorbitol dehydrogenases in Acetobacter suboxydans.

It has previously been shown that cell-free extracts of Acetobacter subozydans possess two pathways for the oxidation of sorbitol (1). In the presence of DPN,l fructose is produced; with TPN, sorbose is formed. The primary purpose of this paper is to describe the separation of these two dehydrogenases from each other. The DPN enzyme free from TPN activity has been concentrated about lBfold, whe...
