Short Description::
D SORBITOL LR FOR MICROBIOLOGY
Long Description::
Application::
Sorbitol less commonly known as glucitol is a sugar alcohol with a sweet taste which the human body metabolizes slowly.
Dose::
Sorbitol may be synthesised via a glucose reduction reaction[5] in which the converted aldehyde group is converted into a hydroxyl group. The reaction requires NADH and is catalyzed by aldose reductase.
Note::
Most sorbitol is made from potato starch, but it is also found in nature, for example in apples, pears, peaches, and prunes.[3] It is converted to fructose by sorbitol-6-phosphate 2-dehydrogenase. Sorbitol is an isomer of mannitol, another sugar alcohol; the two differ only in the orientation of the hydroxyl group on carbon 2.
