L-(-)-SORBOSE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White to off-white crystalline powder or crystals

Uses

L-Sorbose is a low molecular weight naturally occurring monosaccharide carbohydrate molecule. It has sweetness that is nearly equivalent to that of sucrose. This is a labeled analog.

Uses

L-Sorbose is used as a starting reagent for the commercial biosynthesis of ascorbic acid (vitamin C).

Uses

In the manufacture of vitamin C (accounts for nearly 1000 tons of ascorbic acid produced every year). For conversion of L-sorbose to 2-keto-L-gulonic acid see Reichstein, Grüssner, Helv. Chim. Acta 17, 311 (1934).

Definition

ChEBI: Keto-L-sorbose is a L-sorbose. It is an enantiomer of a keto-D-sorbose.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The L enatiomer of sorbose, a ketohexose monosaccharide.
