L-Erythrulose

Description:

L-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, making it readily available for various biochemical applications. L-Erythrulose is known for its role in the Maillard reaction, contributing to the browning of foods and the development of flavor and aroma. In the cosmetic industry, it is often used as a self-tanning agent due to its ability to react with amino acids in the skin, producing a brown pigment similar to that of dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This reaction typically results in a gradual and natural-looking tan. L-Erythrulose has a low glycemic index and is considered safe for consumption, with potential applications in food and health products. Its stability under various conditions and compatibility with other ingredients make it a versatile compound in both food science and cosmetic formulations.

L-Erythrulose

CAS: 533-50-6

L-Erythrulose is an organic compound that is a sugar alcohol. It can be synthesized from the aldol reaction of glycolaldehyde and dehydroascorbic acid, which are both found in natural sources. L-Erythrulose has shown to have intramolecular hydrogen transfer (H-transfer) reactions, where the hydroxyl group migrates from one C atom to another. This kinetic data was obtained using surface methodology on model systems containing l-erythrulose and bacteria with wild-type or mutant strains. The conformational properties of L-erythrulose were also investigated by comparing its chemical structures with those of other sugars.
