An Improved Colorimetric Method to Quantify Sugar Content of Plant Tissue
Abstract
A modification of the phenol-sulphuric acid method to determine the bulk of soluble or insoluble sugars in plant tissue is proposed. The method is based on optimizing the phenol concentration to obtain equal colour yields for glucose, fructose and sucrose. The optimal phenol concentration is found to depend on the ethanol concentration of the measuring solution. The method is quick, easy and its costs are low, permitting its use in routine analysis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
