Les hexoses sont des oses (monosaccharides) qui comportent 6 atomes de carbone.Ils ont tous la même formule brute C6H12O6.Ils possèdent tous un groupement carbonyle : * soit une fonction aldéhyde en position 1 (aldohexoses) * soit une fonction cétone en position 2 (principalement), 3, 4 ou 5 (cétohexoses ou dihydroxycétone).
