5-Keto-D-gluconic acid is a crystalline ketoacid derivative of D-gluconic acid produced mainly by Gluconobacter oxydans through microbial fermentation. It is widely used as a precursor for tartaric acid synthesis and plays a key role in microbial metabolism and industrial applications.
5-Keto-D-gluconic acid potassium salt is a white to off-white crystalline powder resulting from the potassium salt form of 5-keto-D-gluconic acid. It is water-soluble and used extensively as a biochemical intermediate and precursor in the industrial production of tartaric acid. Known for its stability, it is produced primarily through fermentation processes involving Gluconobacter species.
D-Fucose is a rare, six-carbon deoxy sugar (C₆H₁₂O₅) crucial for research into carbohydrate chemistry and glycan analysis; it occurs naturally in plant polysaccharides and selected microbial structures.
D-Gentiobiose is a naturally occurring disaccharide (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) of two D-glucose units joined β(1→6), relevant to biochemical research and found in plant and microbial polysaccharides.
D-Melezitose monohydrate is a white crystalline trisaccharide (C₁₈H₃₂O₁₆·H₂O) consisting of glucose and fructose, used in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic applications, and as a research substrate for carbohydrate enzymes.
D-Turanose is a white to light yellow reducing disaccharide (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁), structurally similar to sucrose but linked via α-(1→3). It serves as a microbial carbon source and is involved in plant sugar signaling pathways.
