L-(-)-Sorbose

Description:
L-(-)-Sorbose, with the CAS number 87-79-6, is a naturally occurring sugar and a ketose monosaccharide. It is an isomer of fructose and is classified as a six-carbon sugar (hexose). L-(-)-Sorbose is characterized by its sweet taste, which is approximately 0.6 times sweeter than sucrose. It is soluble in water and exhibits a crystalline structure in its solid form. The molecule contains a ketone functional group, which distinguishes it from aldoses. L-(-)-Sorbose is often used in the food industry as a sweetener and in the production of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) through fermentation processes. Additionally, it has applications in biochemistry and microbiology as a carbon source for certain microorganisms. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may undergo isomerization or degradation when exposed to extreme pH or high temperatures. Its unique properties make it a valuable compound in both research and industrial applications.
