Definition
1,5-anhydro-d-mannitol, also known as 1,5-sorbitan or 1-deoxy-D-glucopyranose, is a member of the class of 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. 1,5-anhydro-d-mannitol is very soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1,5-anhydro-d-mannitol can be found in a number of food items such as half-highbush blueberry, deerberry, vaccinium (blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry), and amaranth, which makes 1,5-anhydro-d-mannitol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
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.
