Sorbose is a ketose belonging to the group of sugars known as monosaccharides. It has a sweetness that is equivalent to sucrose (table sugar). L-Sorbose was also regarded as an alternative sugar, as it didn’t induce hyperglycemia or insulinemia, but mice which were fed by this compound had adverse effects: increased organ weights (liver, kidney, hearts)
