Abstract

The amounts of formic acid and formaldehyde formed as result of oxidation of a D (–) fructose molecule by potassium peroxydisulphate [S₂O₈^2-] were estimated. The values estimated were confirmed by the mechanism of the reaction through analysis of the redox reaction products which revealed the presence of formaldehyde and formic acid.
