| sugar alcohol | The polyalcohol resulting from the reduction of the carbonyl group in a monosaccharide to a hydroxyl group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sugar alcohol dehydrogenases | <enzyme> Reversibly catalyses the oxidation of a hydroxyl group of sugar alcohols to form a keto sugar, aldehyde or lactone. Any acceptor except molecular oxygen is permitted. Registry number: EC 1.1. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sugar alcohols | Polyhydric alcohols having no more than one hydroxy group attached to each carbon atom. They are formed by the reduction of the carbonyl group of a sugar to a hydroxyl group. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sugar aldehyde | A sugar that contains an internal acetal. (05 Mar 2000) |
