L-(-)-Sorbose

L-(-)-Sorbose is a monosaccharide and an intermediate in the biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid (Cay-14656) in bacteria. It is formed via dehydrogenation of D-sorbitol by D-sorbitol dehydrogenase (SLDH). L-(-)-Sorbose has commonly been used as a starting material in the commercial biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid.Formal Name: L-sorbose. CAS Number: 87-79-6. Synonyms: NSC 97195.
