Perseitol

Perseitol is a heptoses produced by mature avocado plants. Perseitol can be converted to D-mannoheptulose as an energy-providing compound as well as a transport carbohydrate. Perseitol may act as a ripening inhibitor during the fruit ripening process. Perseitol’s synthesis may be related to the aldolase reaction in the Calvin cycle [1][2].
