D-Erythrulose (1M in water) (Cat No.: R041127) is an aqueous solution of a four-carbon ketotetrose sugar, commonly used in biochemical research and cosmetic formulations. As a naturally occurring keto-sugar, it participates in Maillard-type reactions with amino acids in the skin, leading to a temporary browning effect, which is why it’s often used in self-tanning products. In research, it serves as a model compound for carbohydrate metabolism and glycation studies. The 1M concentration provides convenience for precise dosing in laboratory applications.
