L-Glucose is a white crystalline monosaccharide (C6H12O6) that is the mirror image of D-glucose. Unlike D-glucose, it is not metabolized by cells and serves as a research tool in carbohydrate science and metabolism studies.
L-Mannose is a white crystalline sugar (C6H12O6) and the mirror image of D-mannose. It plays a role in biochemical research on carbohydrate stereochemistry and glycosylation, though it is less common in nature.
L-Sorbose is a white crystalline ketose sugar (C6H12O6) with a sweetness similar to sucrose, used in biochemical studies and as a precursor in vitamin C production. It dissolves well in water and exhibits a specific optical rotation around -43°.
Lacto-N-Biose (LNB) is a key human milk oligosaccharide building block that supports beneficial gut bacteria, immunity, and infant health. CAS 50787-09-2.
