| Specificity | Reduces L-iditol to L-sorbose. Also acts on D-glucitol and other closely related sugar alcohols. Allows the reduction of ketones to polyols. The reduction of D-fructose is favored. However; alkaline pH shifts the equilibrium in favor of sorbitol oxidation. SDH does not oxidize erythritol; D- or L-arabitol; D-iditol; D-mannitol or inositol. It will not reduce D-tagatose; D-mannoheptulose; D-glucose; DL-glyceraldehyde; pyruvate; 2-oxolutarate or acetaldehyde. |
| Unit Definition | One unit will convert 1.0 umole of D-fructose to D-sorbitol per minute at pH 7.6 at 25 °C. |
