L-(−)-Sorbose is an aldose monosaccharide, characterized as a crystalline solid with a white color and no odor. It easily dissolves in water and possesses a sweet taste comparable to sucrose. The enzyme aldose reductase metabolizes L-(−)-Sorbose, facilitating the reduction of aldoses into their respective alcohols. This process plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels and energy production.
