Chromatographic separation of galactosylkojic acid by Yamamoto, Shuichi, Nakanishi, Kazuhiro, Hassan, Mohd Ali

“…The K value for GKA at pH 8 was almost the same as that for neutral sugar having the same molecular weight. As the gels have negative charges at pH 6-8 and the dissociation constant of KA is ca. 10-8, these results indicate that the distribution of GKA and KA is governed by hydrophobic interaction adsorption and electrostatic repulsion. …”
