Turanose Analysis Service

Turanose is a naturally occurring disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose linked by an α-1,3-glycosidic bond. Found in plants, honey, and certain microbial systems, turanose plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism and signaling pathways. It serves as a non-metabolizable sucrose analog in many plant systems and is known for its involvement in stress responses, energy storage regulation, and sweetness modulation. In food science and biochemistry, accurate turanose quantification and structural characterization are essential for understanding its functional properties, ensuring product quality, and investigating its biological significance.
