Sentences with HEXOSES (5)
The most important results are these: _Monoses._--The _aldoses_ are fully esterified, in the pentoses 4 OH, in the hexoses 5 OH groups reacting.
Lobry de Bruyn's researches on the change of position of the typical CO- group of the simple hexoses, in presence of alkalis, point very definitely in this direction.
Observations on the pure pentoses--xylose and arabinose added to dextrose solutions, and then exposed to yeast action--show that in a vigorous fermentation not unduly prolonged the pentoses are unaffected, but that they do come within the influence of the yeast-cell when the latter is in a less vigorous condition, and when the hexoses are not present in relatively large proportion.
From the mode of action diagnosed by Fenton it was to be expected that the CHOH groups of the carbohydrates would be oxidised to CO groups, and it has been established by the above investigations (1) and (2) that the particular group to be so affected in the hexoses is that contiguous to the typical | --CO group.
The conclusion is certainly justified that the origin of the pentoses is referable to oxidations of the hexoses, in which this form of 'active oxygen' plays an important part.
