Product Information
L-Gluconic acid is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H12O6. It is a colourless solid that is soluble in water and has a sour taste. L-Gluconic acid can be produced by the oxidation of glucose and other sugars or by hydrolysis of starch or cellulose. L-Gluconic acid is an intermediate in glycolysis, and it is a reactant in several biochemical processes, such as the citric acid cycle, pentose phosphate pathway, and non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway. It can also be used as a precursor to polymers such as polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, and polycaprolactone. L-Gluconic acid has oxidizing properties due to its carboxylate group which can react with amines to form stable complexes. This property makes L-gluconic acid useful for analytical purposes because it can be used for
