Sorboses
D-(+)-Sorbose
- Formula: C6H12O6
- Molecular Weight: 180.16
D-(+)-Sorbose, an active enantiomer of D-Sorbose, which inhibits disaccharidase activity and demonstrates suppressive action on postprandial blood levels of glucose and insulin in the rat. D-sorbose acts as a sweetener may contribute to the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus.
L-(-)-Sorbose
Cat. No.: HY-W040240
CAS No.: 87-79-6
- Formula: C6H12O6
- Molecular Weight: 180.16
L-(-)-Sorbose (L-Sorbose) is a monosaccharide that induces the production of cellulase. L-(-)-Sorbose regulates the coordinated transcription of 6 cellulase genes (including egl3) in Trichoderma reesei strains. L-(-)-Sorbose is currently the only monosaccharide reported to exhibit cellulase-inducing activity.
