| | L-GULOSE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | light yellow viscous oil | | Uses | L-Gulose is an aldohexose sugar. L-Gulose very rarely occurs in nature but has been found in archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes. L-Gulose is not fermentable by yeast. L-Gulose also serves as a direct precursor of L-ascorbic acid in plant cells. | | Uses | L-gulose is a compound useful in organic synthesis. | | Definition | ChEBI: The L-enantiomer of gulopyranose. |
