hexose sugar

a sugar containing six carbon atoms (e.g. glucose, C6H₁₂ O6). Hexose sugars are the basic building blocks for more complex CARBOHYDRATES.

A review on bio-butyric acid production and its optimization

Biological, enzymatic, or microbial hydrolysis commonly involves four biologically-mediated transformations: the production of saccharolytic enzymes (cellulases and hemicellulases); the hydrolysis of carbohydrate components present in pretreated biomass to sugars; the fermentation of hexose sugars (glucose mannose, and galactose); and the fermentation of pentose sugars, xylose and arabinose [3, 4].
