D-Apiose (as Syrup) - Introduction
D-Apiose(D-Apiose) is a natural carbohydrate molecule with the formula C5H10O5. It is a chiral molecule that only D-Apiose exists in nature, mainly found in some plants such as celery and spinach.
The main use of D-Apiose is as a chemical reagent and research tool. Because of its special structure and properties, it can be used to synthesize some bioactive molecules or drugs, such as the synthesis of certain antibiotics, plant hormones, etc. In addition, it is also widely used in sugar chemistry research, biomedical research and other fields in the life sciences.
There are two main common methods for the preparation of D-Apiose. First, it is extracted from natural sources such as celery and purified through a series of chemical steps. Secondly, it can be obtained by chemical synthesis. The method of chemical synthesis is more controllable and can obtain high purity products.
In terms of safety, D-Apiose is a natural substance, so it has low toxicity under proper use and storage conditions. However, for chemicals, you should follow the appropriate safety procedures, avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes, pay attention to protective measures, and avoid inhaling its dust or solution. In addition, it should be stored properly to avoid mixing with other chemicals or contact with heat and ignition sources. During use and handling, the relevant safety technical data sheets and operating instructions should be consulted on a case-by-case basis.
