Determination of Dextran in Raw Sugar

Day, D.F. and Sarker, D.  1985.  This paper reports on a modified procedure of dextran analysis that can be used on a routine basis in the factory laboratory. The procedure utilizes an ethanol precipitation, as does the Roberts method to separate polysaccharides from simple sugars. This method shows the same insensitivity to the molecular size of dextran as shown by the Roberts assay. Determination of Dextran in Raw Sugar. Sugar Journal, October 1985:8-9.
