Manninotriose

13382-86-0

Manninotriose is a trisaccharide composed of three mannose units linked together. It is a non-reducing sugar that serves as a reserve carbohydrate in some plants. This compound is also a component of certain plant cell wall structures and is sometimes produced by microbial fermentation. In research, manninotriose is used to study the activity of enzymes that break down mannan, a polysaccharide of which it is a building block.
