Usage

General Description

Alpha-sophorose is a disaccharide sugar composed of two glucose molecules connected by a glycosidic bond. It is a rare and less-studied sugar, and is found in small amounts in certain plants and microorganisms. Alpha-sophorose has potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries, as it has been shown to have prebiotic and immunomodulatory properties. Additionally, it may have potential as a sweetener or flavoring agent due to its sweet taste and ability to enhance flavors in food products. Research on alpha-sophorose is ongoing, and its potential uses and benefits continue to be explored.
