Study adds data on sugar's degradation process
Researchers using NMR spectroscopy have discovered the degradation of glucosone, a dicarbonyl sugar, involves a reaction pathway that influences the rearrangement of the molecule's carbon backbone. The researchers have named the process "C1-C2 transposition." The finding may add to the knowledge regarding sugars' degradation procedure and help in the fight against diabetes, according to the study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
