CAS 111188-56-8: Melibiulose

Description: Melibiulose, with the CAS number 111188-56-8, is a carbohydrate that belongs to the class of sugars known as oligosaccharides. It is a disaccharide composed of two monosaccharide units, specifically derived from the sugar alcohol mannitol and the sugar galactose. Melibiulose is characterized by its sweet taste and is soluble in water, making it useful in various food applications as a sweetener or bulking agent. Its structure allows it to participate in various biochemical processes, including fermentation by certain microorganisms. Additionally, melibiulose may exhibit prebiotic properties, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. While it is not as widely studied as other sugars, its unique composition and potential health benefits make it an interesting subject for research in nutrition and food science. As with many carbohydrates, its digestibility and metabolic effects can vary among individuals, which is an important consideration in dietary contexts.
