Description
D-Saccharic acid potassium salt is a compound formed from oxidizing sugars, which can be used to test for the presence of hepatic enzyme induction. Studies indicate that D-glucuronolactone dehydrogenase oxidizes D-Saccharic acid potassium salt into D-glucaro-l,4;6,3-dilactone. Alternate studies suggest that D-Saccharic acid potassium salt forms a complex with Cu(II) and H:2:O:2:to decolorize azo, acridine, triphenyl methane, anthraquinone and thiazine-based dyes
