Change in concentration of different aldonic acids during
ammoxidation
(isobar 0.2 MPa O2) of glucose at 70 °C (A), 100 °C
(B), and 140 °C (C). Legend: solid black squares, glycolic acid;
open white squares, glyceric acid; solid black circles, tetronic acid;
open white circles, pentonic acid; solid black triangles, hexonic
acid. Values for pentonic and hexonic acids are sums of diastereomeric
compounds.
