Nelson Somogyi Method for Determination of reducing sugars

Nelson-Somogyi method is a classical colorimetric method used for quantitative estimation of reducing sugars like glucose in biological and industrial samples. It is a two step redox based assay where reducing sugars act as reducing agent and reaction is carried out in alkaline condition. In first step, sample containing reducing sugar is heated with alkaline … Read more
