CAS 609-06-3

L-Xylose

Description:

L-Xylose, with the CAS number 609-06-3, is a naturally occurring aldopentose sugar, which means it contains five carbon atoms and an aldehyde functional group. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has a sweet taste, although it is less sweet than glucose. L-Xylose is an important component of hemicellulose, a major structural polysaccharide found in plant cell walls, and is commonly derived from wood and agricultural residues. In terms of its chemical structure, L-Xylose has a linear form as well as several cyclic forms, which can interconvert in solution. It is utilized in various biochemical applications, including as a marker for intestinal absorption and in the production of xylitol, a sugar alcohol used as a sugar substitute. L-Xylose is also significant in research related to carbohydrate metabolism and is studied for its potential health benefits, including its role in glycemic control. Its molecular formula is C5H10O5, and it has a specific optical rotation, indicating its chirality.

L-Xylose

CAS: 609-06-3

L-Xylose is a monosaccharide that is found in many plants. It is used as a sweetener, and also has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. L-Xylose can be metabolized by the enzyme xylitol dehydrogenase to produce energy for the cell. The enzyme catalyzes the conversion of xylitol to D-xylulose and then D-xylulose 1-phosphate, which can be converted into ATP for use by cells. L-Xylose is not metabolized by bacterial enzymes and does not affect blood sugar levels. L-Xylose has been shown to have an effect on taste perception, with a sweet taste at concentrations of 10 milligrams per liter (mg/L). This sweet taste is due to its hydroxymethyl group on the C2 position, which reacts with sodium ions in the mouth. The optimum pH for L-xylose
