L-Arabinose

L-arabinose, also known as gum aldose;It's a glutaraldehyde sugar.L-arabinose is rarely present in the form of monosaccharides in nature. It is usually combined with other monosaccharides and in the form of heteropolysaccharides in colloids, semi-fibrinoids,pectinic acids, bacterial polysaccharides and some glycosides.It has high stability to heat and acid.L-arabinose, a low-calorie sweetener, has been approved as a health food additive by the U.S. food and drug administration and Japan's health ministry.The most representative physiological function of l-arabinose is to selectively influence the sucrase that digests sucrose in the small intestine disaccharide hydrolase, thereby inhibiting the absorption of sucrose.
