Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Sorbose
DescriptionL-Sorbose, also known as L-sorbinose or L-xylo-hexulose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are compounds containing one carbohydrate unit not glycosidically linked to another such unit, and no set of two or more glycosidically linked carbohydrate units. Monosaccharides have the general formula CnH2nOn. L-Sorbose exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. The commercial production of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) often begins with sorbose. L-Sorbose (CAS: 87-79-6) is a ketose belonging to the group of sugars known as monosaccharides. Sorbose has been found to be a metabolite of Ketogulonicigenium (PMID:15785002 ).
