| L-(-)-SORBOSE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | White to off-white crystalline powder or crystals | | Uses | 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). | | Uses | 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. | | Uses | L-Sorbose is used as a starting reagent for the commercial biosynthesis of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). | | Biochem/physiol Actions | The L enatiomer of sorbose, a ketohexose monosaccharide. |
