4. On the Constitution of Mannite
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 March 2015
Extract
Chemists are in the habit of assigning to mannite the formula,
C6H14O6;
but the reasons which have hitherto been given for that formula seem not very conclusive. By a process of fermentation, alcohol and a number of other compounds of well established composition may be obtained from mannite; but inasmuch as disintegration takes place in this process, the formulæ of the products afford no guide to the constitution of the original body.
