Sophorose

Description:

Sophorose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units linked by a β(1→2) glycosidic bond. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to the presence of multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups. Sophorose is known for its sweet taste, although it is less sweet than sucrose. It is naturally occurring and can be found in certain plants, particularly in the seeds of the Sophora japonica tree. This compound plays a role in various biological processes and is of interest in research related to its potential applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. Sophorose can also serve as a substrate for specific enzymes, making it relevant in enzymatic studies and fermentation processes. Its chemical formula is C12H22O11, and it has a molecular weight that classifies it among other carbohydrates. Overall, sophorose is significant in both natural and industrial contexts due to its unique properties and potential uses.
