What is L-(-)-SORBOSE?
Chemical properties
White to off-white crystalline powder or crystals
The Uses of L-(-)-SORBOSE
In the manufacture of vitamin C (accounts for nearly 1000 tons of ascorbic acid produced every year). For conversion of L-sorbose to 2-keto-L-gulonic acid see Reichstein, Grüssner, Helv. Chim. Acta 17, 311 (1934).
The Uses of L-(-)-SORBOSE
L-Sorbose is a low molecular weight naturally occurring monosaccharide carbohydrate molecule. It has sweetness that is nearly equivalent to that of sucrose. This is a labeled analog.
The Uses of L-(-)-SORBOSE
L-Sorbose is used as a starting reagent for the commercial biosynthesis of ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
What are the applications of Application
L(?)Sorbose is a ketose sugar that is used in the synthesis of ascorbic acid
Definition
ChEBI: Keto-L-sorbose is a L-sorbose. It is an enantiomer of a keto-D-sorbose.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The L enatiomer of sorbose, a ketohexose monosaccharide.
