The transformation of aldose to ketose or common sugars into rare saccharides, including rare ketoses and aldoses, is of great value and interest to the food industry and for saccharidic biomass utilization, medicine, and the synthesis of drugs. Nowadays, high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is industria...
