Metabolite Identification
Common NameGalactitol
DescriptionGalactitol, also known as dulcitol or dulcose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohols. These are hydrogenated forms of carbohydrate in which the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. Galactitol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, galactitol is involved in the galactose metabolism pathway. Galactitol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as poppies (Papaver), breadfruits (Artocarpus altilis), macadamia nut (m. tetraphylla), common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), and cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao). This could make galactitol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Galactitol is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Galactitol, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as alzheimer's disease and irritable bowel syndrome; galactitol has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder galactosemia. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Galactitol.
