Physicochemical properties: ivory white crystalline powder. A kind of six carbon sugar can be regarded as a methylpentose. The majority of fucose in nature is L-fucose, and D-fucose is only a rare sugar, which is found in some glycoglycans. L-fucose is abundant in algae and gum, and also found in polysaccharides of some bacteria.

Purpose: biochemical research. Fucose, as a component of the sugar chain in glycoproteins, widely exists on the plasma membrane of various cell surfaces. Fucose has less than one hydroxyl group on the sixth carbon atom than ordinary six carbon sugars, so fucose is less hydrophilic than other monosaccharides, but more hydrophobic. Fucose in some blood group molecules is a marker of certain blood groups. Usually, fucose is extracted from algae, treated with acid first, neutralized, separated out in the form of phenylhydrazone, and then phenylhydrazine is removed α- L-fucose crystallization
