Applications
UsesL-xylo-2-Hexulosonic Acid Hydrate is the direct precursor of vitamin C (A786990); a physiological antioxidant and coenzyme for a number of hydroxylation reactions. Required for collagen synthesis and widely distributed in plants and animals. Inadequate intake results in deficiency syndromes such as scurvy. Also used as an antimicrobial and antioxidant in foodstuffs.
Uses2-Keto-L-gulonic Acid is used in biological studies for the formation of sorbitol metabolism by Acetobacter melanogenus.
