Intensity of the Color Developed in the Dische T e s t ........................ ii.2 is INTRODUCTION Carbohydrates, together iiith proteins and fats, constitute the major organic components of plants and animals where they serve as structural and reserve materials and maintain the activity of the living cells. The importance of carbohydrates as products of photosynthesis in plants, and as sources of energy for animals, has been reflected in the intense studies made on D-glucose, the principal member of this class of compounds. The vital biological functions of D-glucose and the mechanism of its metabolism are known in considerable detail. The roles of other carbohydrates in nature have not been so extensively investigated. Among these are the amino sugars. These constitute a group of biologically significant compounds. D-GLucosamine, 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose, first isolated by Ledderhose (l), represents the most inportant member of this group. (1) G. Ledderhose, Ber., 9, 1200 (1876). Chitin is a polysaccharide composed entirely of N-acetylated D-glucosamine units. It is found in the structural tissues of the lower members of the animal kingdom. The best sources are the shells of crab, shrimp, and lobster. Acid hydrolysis of the important and chemically complex polysaccharide heparin gives D-glucosamine and I>>glucuronic acid. Heparin is a blood anticoagulant and is isolated from the lung, liver, thymus, spleen and blood. Another polysaccharide which on acid hydrolysis gives
