CAS 597-12-6: (+)-Melezitose
Description:(+)-Melezitose is a disaccharide sugar composed of two glucose units linked by an α(1→2) glycosidic bond. It is naturally found in honeydew, a sugary excretion from aphids and certain plant-sucking insects, and is also present in some types of honey. This compound is known for its sweet taste and is utilized in various food products and beverages as a sweetener. (+)-Melezitose is soluble in water, making it easily digestible and bioavailable. Its molecular formula is C12H22O11, and it exhibits optical activity, rotating plane-polarized light to the right due to its specific stereochemistry. In addition to its sweetening properties, melezitose may have prebiotic effects, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. It is important to note that while melezitose is generally recognized as safe, excessive consumption may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals. Overall, (+)-Melezitose serves both functional and nutritional roles in various applications.
