Description:
Arabitol, also known as D-arabitol, is a sugar alcohol that belongs to the class of polyols. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has a sweet taste, making it of interest in food and pharmaceutical applications. Arabitol is derived from the reduction of D-arabinose, a pentose sugar, and is commonly found in various plants and fungi. Its chemical formula is C5H12O5, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 152.15 g/mol. Arabitol is non-toxic and is often used as a sugar substitute in low-calorie and diabetic-friendly products. Additionally, it has potential applications in the cosmetic industry due to its moisturizing properties. In terms of stability, arabitol is relatively stable under normal conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent degradation. Its unique properties make it a valuable compound in both food science and biochemistry.
