beta-D-Glucopyranose(CAS: 492-61-5)

Beta-D-Glucopyranose is a simple sugar, a monosaccharide with the molecular formula C6H12O6. It is a key component in many biological processes and is the structural isomer of alpha-D-glucopyranose. Beta-D-Glucopyranose is important in pharmaceuticals, food additives, and as a research tool.

Beta-D-Glucopyranose is widely used in pharmaceuticals for medicinal applications, in the food industry as a sweetener and stabilizer, and in research for studying carbohydrate metabolism and biochemistry. It also has applications in cosmetics and as a preservative.

Beta-D-Glucopyranose is generally considered safe for use in food and pharmaceutical applications. However, it should be handled with care to avoid eye and skin contact. Follow standard safety procedures and use appropriate personal protective equipment.

Beta-D-Glucopyranose should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent degradation. Keep it in a tightly sealed container to maintain purity and prevent moisture absorption. Store at room temperature, ideally between 15-25°C (59-77°F).
