L-Arabinose

Arabinose is an aldopentose - a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms, including an aldehyde (CHO) functional group. For biosynthetic reasons, most sugars almost always exist in nature in the "D" form, or structurally similar to D-glyceraldehyde. However, L-arabinose is actually more commonly found in nature than D-arabinose and is found in nature as a component of biopolymers such as hemicellulose and pectin. The L-arabinose operon, also known as the araBAD operon, has been the subject of numerous biomolecular studies. An operon directs arabinose catabolism in Escherichia coli, dynamically activated in the presence and absence of glucose. As a professional L-arabinose supplier and food additive manufacturer, Healtang has been providing high quality L-arabinose to customers all over the world.

L-arabinose is an aldopentose which is more common than d-arabinose in nature. L-arabinose is a low-calorie sweetener and inhibitor of the sucrose. Therefore, it can prevent fat accumulation and protect against diabetes.

Application:

Use as a sucrose enzyme inhibitor to lower the glycaemic index of sucrose containing products
Development of antiviral agents such as nucleoside analogues
Various foods, except foods for infants or young children
Raw material for the synthesis of fine chemicals as well as pharmaceutical intermediate
Preparation of bacterial medium in biological industry
Synthesis of flavours

L-arabinose(CAS:5328-37-0)

Xylitol is a naturally-occurring 5-carbon polyol sweetener. It is found in fruits and vegetables, and is even produced by the human body itself. It can absorb heat when dissolved in water, with moisture absorbing function, and transient diarrhea can be induced when excessively taken. The product can also treat constipation.

Xylitol is the sweetest of all the polyols. It is as sweet as sucrose, has no after-taste and is safe for diabetics. Xylitol has 40% less calories than sugar and, for this reason, a caloric value of 2.4 kcal/g is accepted for nutritional labelling in the eu and the usa.

In crystalline applications, it provides a pleasant, natural cooling effect, greater than that of any other polyol.
It is the only sweetener to show both passive and active anti-caries effects.

Application:

Foods
Calorie free chewing gum
Confectionery
Oral hygiene products (mouthwash and toothpaste)
Pharmaceuticals
Cosmetics
