The interaction between 5 sugars and CaO in water solution has been found to be equimolar. Calcium uptake and ultraviolet absorption patterns between reducing and non‐reducing sugars in basic solution indicate that cation‐ and/or anion‐dependent reactions occur simultaneously and independently. It is suggested that variability of reported stoichiometric ratios between sugars and alkali or alkali‐earth metals may also be a function of the polarisability of sugarderived reacting species, under a given set of experimental conditions.
