Terrestrial humic substances induce photodegradation of polysaccharides in the aquatic environment

Abstract

Starch solution (4 mg dm−3) was irradiated with simulated solar UV radiation with and without addition of Aldrich humic acids (8 mg dm−3). Quantitative analysis of the photodegradation products revealed enhanced release of monosaccharides in the presence of humic substances.
