D-Sorbose, CAS:3615-56-3

D-SorboseD-Sorbose is a monosaccharide that belongs to the group of sugar alcohols. It is a reducing sugar that can be used as an alternative for sugar in food and pharmaceutical industries. D-Sorbose has been shown to have potential industrial applications due to its high solubility, low melting point, and resistance to crystallization. The enzyme ribitol dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli was found to be active with D-sorbitol, but not with l-sorbitol. This indicates that D-sorbitol is a better substrate for this enzyme than L-sorbitol.CAS Number3615-56-3Product NameD-sorboseIUPAC Name(3R,4S,5R)-1,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexan-2-oneMolecular FormulaC6H12O6Molecular Weight180.16 g/molInChIInChI=1S/C6H12O6/c7-1-3(9)5(11)6(12)4(10)2-8/h3,5-9,11-12H,1-2H2/t3-,5+,6+/m1/s1InChI KeyBJHIKXHVCXFQLS-PYWDMBMJSA-NSMILESC(C(C(C(C(=O)CO)O)O)O)OSynonymsD Sorbose, D-Sorbose, L Sorbose, L-Sorbose, SorboseCanonical SMILESC(C(C(C(C(=O)CO)O)O)O)OIsomeric SMILESC([C@H]([C@@H]([C@H](C(=O)CO)O)O)O)O CAS No: 3615-56-3 Synonyms: D-Xylo-hexulose MDL No: MFCD00151095 Chemical Formula: C6H12O6 Molecular Weight: 180.16References: 1.
