Description

D-Fructose, 1-o-β-D-Fructofuranosyl- is a specialized disaccharide derivative of fructose, also known as inulobiose. This high-purity chemical building block is valued for its specific glycosidic linkage, making it a critical reference standard and intermediate in advanced carbohydrate research and synthesis. It serves the needs of pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, biotechnology companies, and fine chemical manufacturers focused on developing novel therapeutics, diagnostic agents, and functional food ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification, purity testing, and quantification of fructo-oligosaccharides and inulin-type products in pharmacopeial methods.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key substrate or intermediate in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and the investigation of fructosyltransferases and inulinases.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a chiral building block for the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and specialized sweeteners with targeted functional properties.
• Food Science & Analysis: Employed in analytical laboratories to calibrate instruments and develop methods for profiling prebiotic fibers like inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in food products.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Utilized in the formulation of assay kits and biosensors for carbohydrate metabolism disorders or for detecting specific enzymatic activities.
