Definition
1-kestose, also known as 1f-beta-D-fructosylsucrose or [beta-D-fru-(2->1)]2-alpha-D-glup, is a member of the class of compounds known as oligosaccharides. Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates made up of 3 to 10 monosaccharide units linked to each other through glycosidic bonds. 1-kestose is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1-kestose can be found in a number of food items such as german camomile, nance, amaranth, and european plum, which makes 1-kestose a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 1-kestose can be found primarily in prostate Tissue, as well as in human prostate tissue. Moreover, 1-kestose is found to be associated with prostate cancer.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as oligosaccharides. These are carbohydrates made up of 3 to 10 monosaccharide units linked to each other through glycosidic bonds.
