An automated procedure, using p ‐hydroxybenzoic acid hydrazide as the colour reagent, for the determination of carbohydrate in solution is described. The method is applicable to the determination of available carbohydrate in foodstuffs. The results of analysis of some foods are given, and compared with values obtained by a manual procedure.
