CAS 7776-48-9

L-Fructose

Description:

L-Fructose, with the CAS number 7776-48-9, is a naturally occurring simple sugar, or monosaccharide, that is classified as a ketohexose due to its six carbon atoms and a ketone functional group. It is commonly found in fruits, honey, and root vegetables, contributing to their sweetness. L-Fructose is known for its high solubility in water and is sweeter than glucose and sucrose, making it a popular sweetener in food products. It has a molecular formula of C6H12O6 and exists in both a linear form and several cyclic forms, predominantly as a five-membered ring in solution. L-Fructose is metabolized differently than glucose, primarily in the liver, and can influence insulin levels and blood sugar more subtly. Additionally, it is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment, which can affect its stability and storage. While it is generally recognized as safe, excessive consumption of fructose has been linked to various health issues, including obesity and metabolic syndrome.

L-Fructose

CAS: 7776-48-9

L-Fructose is a non-reducing sugar that is found in many plants, including honey and fruits. It plays an important role in energy metabolism, as it can be converted to L-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate by the enzyme aldolase. L-Fructose has also been used in the synthesis of oligosaccharides and other carbohydrates. The analytical method for determining L-fructose involves hydrolysis with acid followed by measurement of the released hydrogen peroxide. The cell culture technique can be used to measure the growth of bacteria that contain fructose as their sole carbon source.
