Iodometric determination of saccharose applied to fermentation control.Peer-reviewed article

A. ŠEPITKA

The author has adjusted the iodometric method for determination of saccharose in fermenting mashes during lactic fermentation process. The suggested method takes less time than determination of unfermented sugar based upon reduction of Fehling liquid and is fas more reliable than direct polarometric method. The iodometric method can be applied in the full range of saccharose concentrations which are present under normal conditions. The iodometric method used for following the rates of saccharose decrease in fermenting mashes indicates, that inversion of sacharose does not precede fermentation with various irregularities of fermentation, till now assumed.
