Title: Heats of fusion of sugars.
Post by: silverhandorder on November 24, 2010, 03:02:08 PM

I have a lab where I need to identify unknown sugar. We used DSC to obtain the heat of fusion kJ/g of the substance. Now I need to find heats of fusion of sucrose, lactose, maltodextrin and starch. I looked in CRC handbook and their tables did not have these. A search on google also gives a lot of irrelevant link. Can anyone suggest a resource I can use to find these values. My teacher claims these are well studies sugars and should be easily available. What am I doing wrong as far as searching these type of problems?
