Mushonga wedoro imhando yemakemikari emushonga ane hydroxyl functional group (-OH) yakanamirwa ku carbon atomu.Inonyanya kushandiswa mukugadzirwa kwezvinonyungudutsa, mafuta, uye mishonga.Doro rinogona kuiswa mupuraimari, rechipiri, uye repamusoro zvichienderana nenhamba yemaatomu ekabhoni akasungirirwa paatomu kabhoni neboka rehydroxyl.Mishonga iyi ine zvakasiyana-siyana zvekushandisa zvese mumaindasitiri uye muhupenyu hwemazuva ese, kusanganisira semishonga inouraya utachiona, mishonga inouraya utachiona, uye inochengetedza.Inogonawo kuwanikwa muzvinwiwa zvinodhaka, zvakadai sedoro, waini, uye midzimu.
