Crocose
Crocose, also known as D-altro-3-heptulose, is a member of the class of compounds known as heptoses. Heptoses are monosaccharides in which the sugar unit is a seven-carbon containing moeity. Crocose is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Crocose can be found in saffron, which makes crocose a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
d-Glycero-d-galacto-heptose
D-glycero-d-galactoheptose is a member of the class of compounds known as heptoses. Heptoses are monosaccharides in which the sugar unit is a seven-carbon containing moeity. D-glycero-d-galactoheptose is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). D-glycero-d-galactoheptose can be found in avocado, which makes D-glycero-d-galactoheptose a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
