Abstract: The possibility of electrophoretic separation of D,L-mandelic acid on starch as optically active supporting medium was examined. The obtained results did not exceed the limit of separation achieved by other methods. Under the conditions of high-voltage electrophoresis in acid buffer, mandelic acid moved in the opposite direction than it did under the conditions of low- - voltage electrophoresis, i.e., from anode towards cathode; however, fractions were enriched by optical antipodes only partially.
