As alkaline degradation products of pectic acid, 6 hydroxymonocarboxylic, 16 dicarboxylic, and 2 tricarboxylic acids were identified by g.l.c.-m.s. as their trimethylsilyl derivatives. In the absence of oxygen, the most abundant degradation products are 3-deoxy-2-C-(hydroxymethyl)pentaric, 2,3\_dide

✦ Synopsis
Degradation products from non-oxidative and oxidative treatment of D-galacturonic acid with alkali have been analysed by g.l.c.-m.s.; 13 hydroxy monocarboxylic acids and 26 dicarboxylic acids were identified in addition to several isomerisation products. In the absence of oxygen, the main degradation products were 3-deoxy-Zyxo-hexaric, 3-deoxy-xylo-hexaric, malic, tartronic, C-methyltartronic, lactic, and 3-deoxytetronic acids. In the presence of oxygen, arabinaric, threaric, malic, tartronic, and glycolic acids were formed in large proportions. The routes of formation for most of the compounds are outlined.
