Abstract:
1. A method of producing a composition that comprises borocarbohydrate complexes in an amount of at least 65 wt %, wherein the borocarbohydrate complexes include di-complexes and mono-complexes, wherein the composition further comprises boric acid, and wherein the di-complex and the boric acid are present in a ratio of at least 10:1, the method comprising: selecting a molar ratio between a carbohydrate and the boric acid of at least 1.8:1; selecting a preparative scale for the reaction of at least 1000 ml; and reacting the carbohydrate with the boric acid under conditions and at the ratio and the scale to form the carbohydrate complexes in an amount of at least 65 wt % and at a di-complex to boric acid ratio of at least 10:1, and optionally adding a cation to thereby form a salt of the carbohydrate complexes.
