Abstract
This research concerned with the study of the oxidiation reactris of some natural products as : whey, Dates Al –
Zahidi , Treacle , starch of corn , Banana and water melon , with some oxidizing agent like: conc . nitric acid , in the
presence of V2O5 as catalyst ( at room temperature ) and permanganate ion in acidic medium .
The results obtained indicate clearly , that oxalic acid is the major product during oxidiation of natural products
with conc . nitric acid in the presence of V2O5 as catalyst , liquid N2O4 also obtained as a side product . while mucic
acid is obtained as a major product when we used permanganate ion as oxidizing agent . The products were
identified by spectroscopic methods and thin layer chromatography ( T.L.C )
