D-GlucoheptoseD-Glucoheptose is a sugar that can be used as an alternative to sucrose in the food industry. It is obtained by hydrolysis of inulin, which is a complex carbohydrate that consists of chains of fructose molecules with terminal d-glucose residues. D-Glucoheptose has been shown to be metabolized by lysine residues, which are present in many proteins and enzymes that are involved in glucose metabolism. D-Glucoheptose also participates in reactions involving chondroitin sulfate and type strain interactions. It has been shown to have a hydroxyl group on the C2 position and methyl glycosides on the C3 position, as well as benzyl groups on the C6 position. The chemical composition of D-glucoheptose can be determined using chromatographic methods or analytical methods.CAS Number62475-58-5Product NameD-Glycero-D-gulo-heptoseIUPAC Name(2R,3R,4S,5R,6R)-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydroxyheptanalMolecular FormulaC7H14O7Molecular Weight210.182InChIInChI=1S/C7H14O7/c8-1-3(10)5(12)7(14)6(13)4(11)2-9/h1,3-7,9-14H,2H2/t3-,4+,5-,6+,7+/m0/s1InChI KeyYPZMPEPLWKRVLD-REQIZBSHSA-NSMILESC(C(C(C(C(C(C=O)O)O)O)O)O)O
