Cyclitol

Cyclitol

Cyclitols are cycloalkanes containing one hydroxyl group on three or more ring atoms. They are cyclic polyols. Cyclitols are one of the compatible solutes which are formed in a plant as a response to salt or water stress. Some cyclitol (e.g quinic or shikimic acid) are parts of hydrolysable tannins.
