What is Saccharic?

Saccharic is an adjective describing compounds derived from or related to saccharic acid (glucaric acid), a dicarboxylic acid obtained by the oxidation of sugars such as glucose. The term is used in systematic nomenclature, for example in naming saccharic acid esters, salts (saccharates), and saccharic acid lactones. Saccharic derivatives are of interest in carbohydrate chemistry and as building blocks for biodegradable polymers.
