Sugar Alcohols

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of sugar alcohols for use in various applications. Sugar alcohols, also known as polyols, are organic compounds derived from sugars where the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone) has been reduced to a hydroxyl group. These compounds are significant in scientific research due to their diverse roles and applications in biology, chemistry, and food science. In biochemistry, sugar alcohols are utilized to study metabolic pathways and energy storage, as they are key intermediates in the conversion of sugars. They are also important in the study of enzyme functions and carbohydrate metabolism, providing insights into cellular processes and the regulation of metabolic activities. In the field of materials science, sugar alcohols are explored for their properties as renewable and biodegradable feedstocks for the synthesis of various polymers and chemicals, contributing to sustainable development and green chemistry initiatives. Additionally, sugar alcohols are used in food science to investigate their role as low-calorie sweeteners and their impact on food texture and stability. Researchers also study the physicochemical properties of sugar alcohols, such as their solubility, hygroscopicity, and crystallization behavior, which are crucial for designing new food products and improving existing ones. Environmental scientists study sugar alcohols to understand their behavior and degradation in natural systems, which is important for assessing their environmental impact. The wide-ranging applications of sugar alcohols in scientific research underscore their importance in advancing our understanding of chemical processes and promoting innovations across multiple disciplines.
