Levulinic :: Levulinic (a.) Pertaining to, or denoting, an acid (called also acetyl-propionic acid), C5H8O3, obtained by the action of dilute acids on various sugars (as levulose)..

Levulosan :: Levulosan (n.) An unfermentable carbohydrate obtained by gently heating levulose.

Mannitose :: Mannitose (n.) A variety of sugar obtained by the partial oxidation of mannite, and closely resembling levulose..

Dextrose :: Dextrose (n.) A sirupy, or white crystalline, variety of sugar, C6H12O6 (so called from turning the plane of polarization to the right), occurring in many ripe fruits. Dextrose and levulose are obtained by the inversion of cane sugar or sucrose, and hence called invert sugar. Dextrose is chiefly obtained by the action of heat and acids on starch, and hence called also starch sugar. It is also formed from starchy food by the action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic juice..

Levulose :: Levulose (n.) A sirupy variety of sugar, rarely obtained crystallized, occurring widely in honey, ripe fruits, etc., and hence called also fruit sugar. It is called levulose, because it rotates the plane of polarization to the left..

Laevulose :: Laevulose (n.) See Levulose.

Inversion :: Inversion (n.) The act or process by which cane sugar (sucrose), under the action of heat and acids or ferments (as diastase), is broken or split up into grape sugar (dextrose), and fruit sugar (levulose); also, less properly, the process by which starch is converted into grape sugar (dextrose)..

Levogyrate :: Levogyrate (a.) Turning or twisting the plane of polarization towards the left, as levulose, levotartaric acid, etc..

Fructose :: Fructose (n.) Fruit sugar; levulose.

Levulin :: Levulin (n.) A substance resembling dextrin, obtained from the bulbs of the dahlia, the artichoke, and other sources, as a colorless, spongy, amorphous material. It is so called because by decomposition it yields levulose..

Levorotatory :: Levorotatory (a.) Turning or rotating the plane of polarization towards the left; levogyrate, as levulose, left-handed quartz crystals, etc..

Glucose :: Glucose (n.) Any one of a large class of sugars, isometric with glucose proper, and including levulose, galactose, etc..

Saccharinic :: Saccharinic (a.) Of, pertaining to, or derived from, saccharin; specifically, designating a complex acid not known in the free state but well known in its salts, which are obtained by boiling dextrose and levulose (invert sugar) with milk of lime..
