China H&Z® L-arabinose is a new type of low-calorie sweetener, which is widely distributed in the hull of fruits and coarse grains. It inhibits sucrosease activity in the human intestine and thus has the effect of inhibiting sucrose absorption. In addition, L-arabinose Can inhibit the accumulation of body fat, which can be used to control obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other diseases.
L-arabinose is more common than D-arabinose in nature, it can be used as pharmaceutical intermediate, preparing culture medium and be used for synthesis in the flavour industry.

Product Details of L-Arabinose
H&Z® 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.
H&Z® L-arabinose has been reported that the addition of 3.5% l-arabinose can inhibit the absorption of 60-70% sucrose, and at the same time, it also inhibits the rise of the blood glucose level by about 50%.The American medical association has listed l-arabinose as a dietary supplement or over-the-counter medicine used as an anti-obesity agent. L-arabinose has been listed as a special health food additive for regulating blood sugar in the list of specific health food used by the health ministry of Japan. The ministry of health of China listed l-arabinose as a new resource food in May 2008.
L-arabinose CAS:5328-37-0 Function:
1.L-arabinose can be used as a sucrose enzyme inhibitor to lower the Glycaemic Index(GI) of sucrose containing products
2.L-arabinose can be used in developing antiviral agents such as nucleoside analogues
3.L-arabinose can be used in various foods (except foods for infants or young children)
4.L-arabinose can be used as raw material for the synthesis of fine chemicals as well as pharmaceutical intermediate
5.L-arabinose can be used in preparing bacterial medium in biological industry
6.L-arabinose can be used in the synthesis of flavours
L-arabinose CAS:5328-37-0 Application:
1. Food and drink
As a sweetener, arabinose is widely used in food and beverages, on the one hand, it brings sweetness to foods, and on the other hand it has more functionalities, such as promoting the growth of intestinal probiotics and controlling the absorption of sucrose.
2. Functional health products
Arabica sugar can control blood sugar, reduce the incidence of diabetes, and can effectively promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.
