[Detection of chlorinated carbohydrates in putrefactive biological material]

Carbochlorohydrates were separated from putrefaction products of organic substances and volatile solvents by gas chromatographic column packed with CaA 5 A. A 100 x 0.4 cm column, used for forensic chemical analysis of fresh and putrefactive cadaveric material, proved to be highly effective. The data were confirmed by results of chemical analysis of distillates from the viscera.
