A compound or substance that remains after the removal of glucose or its derivatives from a chemical structure.
From prefix 'a-' (without) + 'glucon' (relating to glucose). This is a chemistry term used in biochemistry and organic chemistry.
In biochemistry, 'aglucon' typically refers to the non-sugar part of a glycoside molecule after enzymatic digestion removes the glucose—it's the leftover puzzle piece when you take away the sugar component.
