摘要: The Clinitest method, originally devised to test urine of diabetic patients, proved be effective for estimating reducing sugar content tuber juice. Data obtained by the method correlated well with data from same tubers analytical dinitrophenol and chip color numbers as determined Agtron ranges. Simplicity in operation, low cost, quick results are main attributes this that is potentially useful potato industry.
