Carbon monoxide was generated when the saccharides which contained aldehyde group were added to alkali solution (NaOH solution) at <TEX>$25^{\circ}C$</TEX> or <TEX>$40^{\circ}C$</TEX>. When the milk was added to 1.0 M NaOH solution at <TEX>$25^{\circ}C$</TEX> and to 0.01 M NaOH solution at <TEX>$40^{\circ}C$</TEX>, carbon monoxide was generated. The carbon monoxide gas which was generated by 20 mL of 0.1 M lactose or 0.1 M xylose and 2 mL of 1.0 M NaOH solution at <TEX>$50^{\circ}C$</TEX> for 2days was bubbled through 2 mL of fresh blood. The carboxyhemoglobin concentrations of both conditions were 31%. However, when the carbon monoxide gas which was generated by 30 mL of milk and 2 mL of 1.0 M NaOH at <TEX>$50^{\circ}C$</TEX> for 2days or 3days was bubbled through 2 mL of fresh blood, the carboxyhemoglobin concentration was 32% or 42% respectively.
