Sentences with GLUCONIC (5)
Gluconic acid distilled with hydrochloric acid gave traces of furfural; so also with sulphuric acid and manganic oxide.
Gluconic acid (Chem.), an organic acid, obtained as a colorless, sirupy liquid, by the oxidation of glucose; -- called also maltonic acid, and dextronic acid.
With glucose, for example, the relationships involved may be illustrated as follows: CHO COOH CHO COOH | | | | (CHOH)_{4} (CHOH)_{4} (CHOH)_{4} (CHOH)_{4} | | | | CH_{2}OH CH_{2}OH COOH COOH Glucose Gluconic acid Glucuronic acid Saccharic acid An important property of the acids of the _gluconic_ type is that when heated with pyridine or quinoline to 130°-150° they undergo a molecular rearrangement whereby the acid corresponding to an isomeric sugar is produced.
For example, gluconic acid, under these conditions, becomes mannonic acid, which can be reduced to mannose.
The process is reversible; mannose can be converted to mannonic acid, thence to gluconic acid, thence to glucose.
