CAS 585-99-9: Melibiose
Description:Melibiose is a disaccharide composed of two monosaccharides: glucose and galactose, linked by an α(1→6) glycosidic bond. It is a non-reducing sugar, meaning it does not have a free aldehyde or ketone group that can participate in redox reactions. Melibiose is typically found in certain plants and is produced during the hydrolysis of raffinose, another oligosaccharide. It is soluble in water and has a sweet taste, although it is less sweet than sucrose. The molecular formula of melibiose is C12H22O11, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 342.30 g/mol. In biological systems, melibiose can serve as a carbon source for some microorganisms, and it is often used in research and industrial applications, particularly in the study of carbohydrate metabolism. Its CAS number, 585-99-9, is a unique identifier that helps in the cataloging and regulation of chemical substances.
