A simplified Shaw's wet-combustion technique for determination of carbon in plant materials

A simplified Shaw's wet‐combustion technique for carbon (C) determination in plant materials is described which requires less reagent and operation time. The simplified technique gave high recovery (99.4%) of the C in analytical pure grade sucrose and citric acid, and high reproducibility of C measu...

Description
Summary:A simplified Shaw's wet‐combustion technique for carbon (C) determination in plant materials is described which requires less reagent and operation time. The simplified technique gave high recovery (99.4%) of the C in analytical pure grade sucrose and citric acid, and high reproducibility of C measured in 18 different plant materials.
