Abstract

The partial molal volumes and isentropic partial molal compressibilities of sugars, sugar alcohols, uronic acids, and some di- and trisaccharides in water have been measured at 25°C. The results suggest that the hydration of carbohydrates depends on the detailed stereochemistry of the solute and the way the solute molecule fits in the water structure. It seemed impossible at this stage to establish any additivity rules for the various functional groups or otherwise systematize the results.
