Abstract
Dilute solutions of alpha-hydroxy acids in water can be analyzed by oxidation of the acids with periodic acid in the chromatograph. The quantity of aldehyde or ketone produced in oxidation is measured. When a Carbowax 20M-on-firebrick column is used, acid concentration is proportional to aldehyde or ketone peak height.
