Gentiobiose

Description:

Gentiobiose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units linked by an α(1→6) glycosidic bond. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting its carbohydrate nature. Gentiobiose is a reducing sugar, meaning it can participate in redox reactions, which is characteristic of sugars with free anomeric carbons. It is found in various plants and is often associated with the metabolism of certain polysaccharides. The molecular formula of gentiobiose is C12H22O11, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 342.30 g/mol. In terms of its biological significance, gentiobiose can serve as a substrate for specific enzymes and may play a role in plant metabolism and human nutrition. Its sweetness is less than that of sucrose, making it less commonly used as a sweetener. Overall, gentiobiose is an important compound in the study of carbohydrates and their functions in biological systems.
