CAS 17629-30-0: Raffinose, pentahydrate
Description:Raffinose, pentahydrate, with the CAS number 17629-30-0, is a complex carbohydrate classified as a trisaccharide, composed of galactose, glucose, and fructose units. It is commonly found in various plants, particularly in beans, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, and whole grains. The pentahydrate form indicates that it contains five molecules of water per molecule of raffinose, which can influence its solubility and stability. Raffinose is not easily digestible by humans due to the lack of the enzyme α-galactosidase, leading to fermentation in the gut and potential gastrointestinal discomfort. It is often utilized in food science and nutrition, as well as in the production of prebiotics. In terms of physical properties, raffinose is typically a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water. Its presence in food products can contribute to the sweetness and texture, while also playing a role in the fermentation processes in certain food applications.
