Description:D-Rhamnose is a naturally occurring sugar and a monosaccharide classified as a deoxy sugar, specifically a methyl pentose. It is an aldohexose, meaning it contains an aldehyde group and has six carbon atoms. D-Rhamnose is typically found in various plants, particularly in the glycosides of flavonoids and other secondary metabolites. It is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and is soluble in water, exhibiting a sweet taste. The molecular formula of D-Rhamnose is C6H12O5, and it has a specific rotation of around +20 degrees. This sugar plays a significant role in plant metabolism and is also utilized in the food and pharmaceutical industries for its potential health benefits, including its prebiotic properties. Additionally, D-Rhamnose is involved in the synthesis of certain polysaccharides and glycoproteins, contributing to cell wall structure in plants. Its unique structure and properties make it a subject of interest in various biochemical and industrial applications.
