fucose

1.(-)-Fucose (6-Desoxygalactose) can anti-infective, anti-cancer, enhance immunity 2. (-)-Fucose is a skin moisturizing and delaying skin aging 3. (-)-Fucose is a nutritional supplement

Madecassic acid (L-fucopyranose) is extracted from the whole herb of Centella asiatica.

GDP-L-fucose is a nucleotide sugar widely found in fungi and plants, playing a role in both the slave and secondary remedial metabolic pathways.

D-(+)-Fucose is a non-metabolizable analog of l-arabinose and an inducer of β-methylgalactoside permease. It inhibits the induction of the l-arabinose manipulator and blocks the growth of Escherichia coli B r on mineral salts medium with l-arabinose.

D-(+)-Xylose (Wood sugar) is an aldopentose - a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms and an aldehyde functional group. It has chemical formula C5H10O5 and is 40% as sweet as sucrose. Xylose is also found in mucopolysaccharides of connective tissue and sometimes in the urine. Xylose is the first sugar added to serine or threonine residues during proteoglycan type O-glycosylation. Therefore xylose is involved in the biosythetic pathways of most anionic polysaccharides such as heparan sulphate and chondroitin sulphate. In medicine, xylose is used to test for malabsorption by administering a xylose solution to the patient after fasting. If xylose is detected in the blood and or urine within the next few hours, it has been absorbed by the intestines. Xylose is said to be one of eight sugars which are essential for human nutrition, the others being galactose, glucose, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, fucose, and sialic acid. . Xylose in the urine is a biomarker for the consumption of apples and other fruits.

Lactodifucotetraose (Difucosyllactose), a tetrasaccharide extracted from human milk, consists of one D-glucose, one D-galactose, and two L-fucose molecules [1].

2'-FUCOSYLLACTOSE (2'-Fucosyl-D-lactose) is a fucose-containing oligosaccharide.
