Metabolite Identification
Common Namebeta-D-Fucose
Descriptionbeta-D-Fucose, also known as b-D-fuc, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hexoses. These are monosaccharides in which the sugar unit is a is a six-carbon containing moeity. beta-D-Fucose has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make beta-D-fucose a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on beta-D-Fucose.
