CAS 33404-34-1: Cellotriose
Description:Cellotriose is a trisaccharide composed of three glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds, making it a member of the cellulose family. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting its carbohydrate nature. Cellotriose is not commonly found in free form in nature but is typically produced during the enzymatic breakdown of cellulose by cellulase enzymes. Its molecular structure contributes to its properties, including its ability to form hydrogen bonds, which can influence its solubility and interaction with other molecules. Cellotriose serves as a substrate for various microorganisms that can utilize it for energy, playing a role in the carbon cycle. In terms of applications, it is of interest in research related to carbohydrate chemistry, food science, and potential uses in biofuels and bioprocessing. The CAS number 33404-34-1 uniquely identifies this compound in chemical databases, facilitating its study and application in various scientific fields.
