Kojibiose (Cat.No:I030125) is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units connected by a β-glycosidic bond. It is naturally found in various organisms, including plants, fungi, and bacteria. Kojibiose is commonly used as a sweetener in food and beverage products and is also of interest in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications due to its potential prebiotic and moisturizing properties.
