Abstract
The effect of different relative humidities at 20 °C. on the colored product of ninhydrin with amino acids on paper chromatograms has been investigated. It has been shown that there is only a very narrow range of humidity (35–40%) within which maximum color development for most amino acids can be expected (aspartic acid behaves anomalously), and that the color intensity falls off rapidly on both sides of this maximum.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
