Etymology

From dextro- + -ose (“right sugar”).

Pronunciation

  • (UK) IPA(key): /ˈdɛkstɹəʊz/

  1. The naturally-occurring dextrorotatory form of glucose monosaccharide molecule.

Usage notes

Levose is not the antonym L-glucose form, due to the origins of stereochemistry and sugar research. "Levose" is a misspelling of levulose (also misspelled as levolose), D-fructose, due to those origins.
