Metabolite Identification
Common NameRaffinose
DescriptionRaffinose, also known as gossypose or melitose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as oligosaccharides. These are carbohydrates made up of 3 to 10 monosaccharide units linked to each other through glycosidic bonds. In cattle, raffinose is involved in the metabolic pathway called the galactose metabolism pathway. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Raffinose.
