The thermal decomposition of glucose and in some cases of fructose, at 160° was studied in the presence of a variety of additives of basic, acidic and neutral nature. The different classes of additives were found to catalyse or inhibit different steps in the overall decomposition process; acidic additives mainly catalyse dehydration processes while basic additives enhance isomerization and fragmentation reactions together with dehydration.
