Product Information
1,3-O-Benzylidene-L-erythritol is a potent inhibitor of the intestinal maltase. It has two diastereomers, one of which is more potent than the other. The more potent diastereomer inhibits both the maltase and L-arabinose isomerase enzymes in the intestine. This inhibition prevents digestion of complex carbohydrates such as starch and sucrose into simple sugars that can be absorbed by the body. 1,3-O-Benzylidene-L-erythritol also inhibits salacinol synthase and thiosugar synthetases from bacteria and plants, preventing synthesis of these important compounds.
