J. Planar Chromatogr. 30, 170-174 (2017). HPTLC-overpressured layer chromatography of monosaccharides (glucose, xylose, rhamnose, and arabinose) as substrates and sugar alcohols (xylitol, sorbitol and arabitol) as metabolites, to follow the fermentation of the yeast Candida tropicalis DSM 7524 on silica gel with acetonitrile – acetic acid – water 63:33:5. Detection by dipping for 9 s into a reagent containing 5 mL of solution I (2 % basic acetate of lead (IV) in glacial acetic acid) and 5 mL of solution II (0.2 % 2,7-dichlorofluorescein in 100 mL ethanol) made up to 200 mL with toluene, followed by heating at 105 °C for 3 min. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 366 nm.
