Definition of Monosaccharide
Monosaccharides are the most basic form of carbohydrates, which are water-soluble and can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body without digestion. Larger carbohydrates can be formed through the connection of glycosidic bonds, which are divided into oligosaccharides and polysaccharides according to the number of glycosidic bonds. In general, when the monosaccharide unit exceeds 20, a polysaccharide is formed.

Functions of Monosaccharides
Monosaccharides have many biological functions. Monosaccharides are used in living organisms to produce and store energy, and some other organisms use monosaccharides to synthesize fiber, forming cell wall components and polysaccharide substrates. Glucose is the main source of energy for most cells in the body and is involved in the process of glycolysis, which produces triphosadenine (ATP). Fructose is commonly found in fruits, has a high sweetness, and is often used as a sweetener in the food processing industry. Galactose is a component of a disaccharide, lactose, which is one of the main nutrients in milk.
Technologies for Monosaccharide Manufacture
As a specialist supplier in the carbohydrate sector, we have various advanced technologies for monosaccharide manufacture. No matter from a few grams to a few tons, we provide customers with the best quality monosaccharides through the best production process. At CD BioGlyco, techniques for producing monosaccharides include but are not limited to:
In this way, monosaccharides are obtained by breaking the glycosidic bonds in polysaccharide or oligosaccharide molecules by various specific glycosidases or chemical methods.
Immobilized enzymes have remarkable catalytic activity and reaction specificity, and the immobilized microorganisms have the advantages of high activity, good stability, and easy control of the reaction.
In this method, a seed culture is obtained by culturing microbial, and the target monosaccharides are obtained by fermentation of the seed culture ender reasonable conditions.
Acid or base catalysts are used to catalyze the mutual conversion of monosaccharides, or obtain target monosaccharides through specific chemical reactions to achieve the arrangement of atoms or molecules.
Applications
- Mass production of monosaccharides
- Food processing development: Some monosaccharides can improve the sweetness of food, adjust the taste of food, and prevent corruption.
- Functional food: some monosaccharides can act as dietary fiber, promote intestinal motility, and prevent intestinal diseases.
- Synthesis of oligosaccharides or polysaccharides
