Abstract
The possibility of modifying the Dreywood anthrone method for spectrophotometric determination of carbohydrates in order to increase the accuracy and reproducibility of the results was examined. The classical method and a developed modification were compared. The relative uncertainty in a determination by the modified method was less than 4%.
