Analysis of Rare Sugars

“Rare sugars” are monosaccharides and their derivatives that seldom occur in nature. D-Psicose, D-Tagatose and D-Allose are representative of rare sugars.
For example, D-Psicose has 70% sweetness of table sugar and almost zero calorie. It inhibits blood sugar level elevation and prevents arteriosclerosis. Due to these beneficial attributes, D-Psicose is expected to be widely applied in medicine, functional food and cosmetics.

COSMOSIL Sugar-D column is designed specifically for sugar analysis. It can resolve rare sugars including D-Psicose.
