L-Gulonolactone is a six-carbon sugar alcohol with the molecular formula C₆H₁₀O₆. Its chemical structure includes a lactone ring and is a reduced form of L-gulonic acid. L-Gulonolactone is primarily found in certain plants and animal tissues, especially in citrus fruits, some berries, and leafy green vegetables. It possesses antioxidant properties, capable of scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative stress. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in the synthesis of vitamin C, which is essential for maintaining the antioxidant capacity and immune function of organisms. The content of L-gulonolactone in plants can serve as an important indicator of their antioxidant potential and nutritional value, which is vital for developing functional foods and dietary supplements. In living organisms, L-gulonolactone can be converted into ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and dehydroascorbic acid through a series of enzymatic reactions. These metabolites exhibit antioxidant and immune-regulating effects. Measuring the levels of L-gulonolactone and its metabolites (such as ascorbic acid) in biological systems can reflect the health status and metabolic state of the organism.
