PROCESS AND REAGENT FOR THE DETERMINATION OF GLYCEROL

摘要

For the determination of glycerol, the latter is incubated with galactose oxidase in an aqueous medium in the presence of oxygen and either the oxygen consumption or the amount of H2O2 or glyceraldehyde that is formed is determined. A reagent suitable for this purpose consists of galactose oxidase and a system for the determination of H2O2 or a system for the determination of glyceraldehyde. It can additionally contain an agent for the saponification of esterified glycerol.
