A colorimetric method for the determination of sugars.
TL;DR: Preliminary experiments showed that the anthrone and the α-naphthol sulphonate reagents give good results with pure sugar solutions, but the presence of only traces of solvents such as butanol, phenol and propionic acid used in the chromatographic separation of the sugars rendered them useless.
