In order to study the physical and chemical properties of the constituents of corn starch hydrolysates, large quantities of individual oligosaccharides were required. Glucose polymers up to a D.P. of ll were separated by application of the techniques of quantitative paper chromatogaphy. Whatman 3-mm. chromatography paper was loaded with 2-3 g. of substrate in a band about 1 1/2 in. wide. The polymers were separated using a solvent made up of n-propyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, and water.
