Description

OFF-WHITE TO BEIGE POWDER


Solid


Glyceraldehyde is an aldotriose comprising propanal having hydroxy groups at the 2- and 3-positions. It plays role in the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), a deleterious accompaniment to ageing. It has a role as a fundamental metabolite.|An aldotriose containing the propionaldehyde structure with hydroxy groups at the 2- and 3-positions. It is involved in the formation of ADVANCED GLYCOSYLATION END PRODUCTS.

(±)-Glyceraldehyde Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

50g (0.3mol) diethanol DL-glyceraldehyde and 500ml of 0.1mol/L sulfuric acid were mixed and placed at 20°C for 7d. After adding 30ml of glacial acetic acid, neutralize with barium hydroxide solution, add 5g of activated carbon, stir and filter. The filtrate was evaporated to the end under reduced pressure, and an equal volume of absolute ethanol was added to the residue. The crystals were filtered and dried to obtain 22 g of DL-glyceraldehyde with a yield of 80%.

Uses

Isotope labelled Glyceraldehyde is the simplest of all aldoses and have been shown to be the one of the carbonyl metabolite of dietary fructose.
