Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Iditol
DescriptionL-Iditol, also known as L-idit or D-dulcitol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohols. These are hydrogenated forms of carbohydrate in which the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. L-Iditol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). L-Iditol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, L-Iditol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as oats, wild celeries, plains prickly pears, mango, and arctic blackberries. This could make L-iditol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. The L-enantiomer of iditol.
