http://ajcn.nutrition.org/ Mannose is involved in an extensive series of metabolic transformations being incorporated into glycoproteins and glycolipids or formed into fucose that is then incorporated into glycoproteins. The primary source of mannose is glucose. Mannose occurs as the free sugar in peaches, apples, and oranges but is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract of rats at only about 12% of the rate of glucose. Mannose conceivably might be liberated from dietary glycoproteins and glycolipids by the action of mannosidase in the gastrointestinal tract but information on this point is lacking. Mannose and fucose are found in a great variety of glycoproteins.
