D-Erythrulose

Description:

D-Erythrulose is a naturally occurring ketose sugar, classified as a monosaccharide with the molecular formula C4H8O4. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits a sweet taste. D-Erythrulose is structurally similar to D-erythrose, differing in the presence of a ketone group instead of an aldehyde. This compound plays a significant role in various biochemical processes and is notably used in the cosmetic industry as a self-tanning agent due to its ability to react with amino acids in the skin, producing a brown pigment through the Maillard reaction. Additionally, D-erythrulose has been studied for its potential health benefits, including its role in metabolic pathways. Its stability under various conditions makes it a valuable ingredient in formulations. As with many sugars, it is important to handle D-erythrulose with care, considering its reactivity and potential effects in biological systems.

D-Erythrulose - Aqueous solution

CAS: 496-55-9

D-Erythrulose is a sugar that can be synthesized from the chemical structures of glycolaldehyde and carbonyl group. It can also be produced by hydrolysis of erythritol, which is found in plant cell walls. D-Erythrulose has been used as an alternative to glucose for fermentation processes because it does not inhibit the growth of most bacteria. D-Erythrulose has been shown to increase ATP levels in Escherichia coli K-12 cells and to affect the activities of enzymes involved in glycolysis, such as glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, and enolase. The metabolic pathways that produce D-erythrulose are found in many organisms, including Corynebacterium glutamicum, Brucella melitensis, and Brucella suis.

D-Erythrulose - 1M Aqueous solution

CAS: 496-55-9

D-erythrulose is a monosaccharide with the chemical structure of erythrose. It is structurally related to glycolaldehyde, which is a precursor in the biosynthesis of ribose. D-Erythrulose has been used for diagnosis and identification of various bacteria, such as C. glutamicum and Brucella species, by serological tests, as well as for the detection of gene products in E. coli K-12 cells. The determination of ATP levels in Brucella species has also been performed using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) after incubation with D-erythrulose.
