D-Talose

A type of sugar, specifically a monosaccharide, that is part of the aldohexose family and is known for its optical activity.

Methyl β-D-Talopyranoside

A methyl glycoside formed from the β-D-Talopyranose form of talose, demonstrating how sugars can be chemically modified to glycosides.

Aglycone
