General description
Gluconolactone is a non-toxic component of the skin. It has anti-oxidant and free radical scavenging effects. Gluconolactone has antiaging and skin-firming properties. It acts as a β-glucosidase inhibitor. Gluconolactone stimulates cellulase gene expression.
Application
Gluconolactone has been used:
- to control the acidification kinetics of natural rubber latex (NRL) suspensions
- to study its effects on inhibition and disintegration of collagen fibrils
- to prepare alginate hydrogel
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glucono-d-lactone increased the doubling time and activated enzymes involved in the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
