Mannózból

Mannózból is a monosaccharide, a simple sugar, with the chemical formula C6H12O6. It is an isomer of glucose and fructose, meaning it has the same chemical formula but a different structural arrangement of atoms. Mannózból is classified as an aldohexose, indicating it is a six-carbon sugar containing an aldehyde functional group. It exists in both open-chain and cyclic forms. The cyclic form is typically a six-membered ring, a pyranose structure. It is a naturally occurring sugar found in some fruits, such as apples, peaches, and oranges, and also in certain plants and fungi. Mannózból is not a common dietary sugar and is not as readily metabolized as glucose. It is sometimes used as a dietary supplement, particularly for its perceived benefits related to urinary tract health, though scientific evidence supporting these claims is still developing. It has a slightly sweet taste but is less sweet than sucrose. In some biochemical pathways, mannózból can be converted to other important molecules.
