White to off-white crystalline powder or crystals | [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). | [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. | [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. | [storage]
