General description

Anthrone, also known as 9(10H)-Anthracenone, is a planar tricyclic aromatic ketone. In acidic conditions, anthrone reacts with carbohydrate to yield a blue-green color.

Application

  • The anthrone method is a colorimetric assay to detect reducing and nonreducing sugars.
  • Anthrone is used in the quantitative determination of streptomycin.
  • It has been used to detect carbohydrate containing lipids and to measure sugar content such as sucrose and trehalose in the liquid medium.
