The Svennerholm modification of the Elson-Morgan method for glucosamine analysis was evaluated for its applicability to the rapid determination of chitin in wood decay fungi. The evaluation included extent of chromogen interference, sensitivity, color stability, and hydrolysis conditions for maximum release of glucosamine from fungal cell walls. With our further modification, the Svennerholm method was shown to be suitable for rapid quantitative determination of fungal chitin without chromatographic separation of hydrolysate chromogens.
