Molecule Details
Biochem/physiol Actions
Allelic variation of the Tas1r3 gene affects behavioral taste responses to this sugar alcohol, suggesting that it is a T1R3 receptor ligand.1
Packaging
25, 100 g in poly bottle
Application
Meso-Erythritol is a precursor to the important tanning agent L-erythrulose which can be commercially generated by Gluconobacter oxydans DSM 7145. Meso-Erythritol, an aliphatic poly-alcohol, is used in the chemical analysis of the reativity of various radicals and radical anions.
