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.
