CAS 50-99-7: Glucose
Description:Glucose, with the CAS number 50-99-7, is a simple sugar and a crucial carbohydrate in biology. It is a monosaccharide, specifically an aldohexose, meaning it contains six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group. Glucose is a colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. Its molecular formula is C6H12O6, and it exists in both a linear form and a cyclic form, with the latter being more prevalent in solution. Glucose plays a vital role in cellular respiration, serving as a primary energy source for cells in many organisms. It is also involved in various metabolic pathways, including glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway. In addition to its biological significance, glucose is commonly used in the food industry as a sweetener and in medical settings for intravenous feeding solutions. Its stability and reactivity allow it to participate in numerous chemical reactions, including fermentation and Maillard reactions, which are important in food chemistry.
