87-79-6 - Description:

L-(-)-Sorbose (CAS: 87-79-6) is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that is found in many fruits, vegetables, and grains. It is a monosaccharide (single sugar unit) that belongs to the aldose family of carbohydrates. It is a white, odorless, and crystalline solid that is soluble in water. It has a sweet taste, similar to that of sucrose, and is used in food and beverage production as a sweetener and preservative. It is also used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries for the production of drugs, vitamins, and other compounds.  

87-79-6 - Application:

L-(-)-Sorbose (CAS: 87-79-6) is a low molecular weight naturally occurring monosaccharide carbohydrate molecule. It has sweetness that is nearly equivalent to that of sucrose.
In vivo studies, L-(-)-Sorbose is used to study the effects of sugar metabolism on various diseases, such as diabetes, as well as to study the effects of sugar intake on the body.
In vitro studies, L-(-)-Sorbose is used to study the effects of sugar metabolism on cells and tissues.
Biochemical research. L-(-)-Sorbose can be used to prepare biological culture medium, study the metabolism of animals and microorganisms.
L-(-)-Sorbose is used as a starting reagent for the commercial biosynthesis of ascorbic acid (vitamin C).

87-79-6 - Advantages and Limitations for Lab Experiments:

L-(-)-Sorbose (CAS: 87-79-6) has a number of advantages and limitations for use in lab experiments.
