α-D-Glucose monohydrate

Description:
α-D-Glucose monohydrate is a crystalline form of glucose, a simple sugar and an essential carbohydrate in biology. It is characterized by its molecular formula C6H12O6·H2O, indicating the presence of one water molecule per glucose unit. This compound is a white, odorless solid that is highly soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups. α-D-Glucose is an anomer of glucose, meaning it has a specific configuration at the anomeric carbon (C1), which influences its reactivity and biological function. It is commonly found in nature, particularly in fruits and honey, and serves as a primary energy source for living organisms. In addition to its role in metabolism, α-D-Glucose is utilized in various applications, including food and beverage industries, pharmaceuticals, and biochemistry as a standard for carbohydrate analysis. Its stability and reactivity can be affected by factors such as temperature and pH, making it important to consider these conditions in practical applications.
