L-Arabinose (CAS 5328-37-0) is a naturally occurring monosaccharide utilized as a low-calorie sweetener and metabolic modifier. Derived from agricultural biomass via enzymatic hydrolysis, its molecular formula is C5H10O5. This white crystalline powder functions primarily by inhibiting alpha-glucosidase to modulate postprandial glucose levels.
Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C with humidity control below 60%. While generally recognized as safe (GRAS), clinical doses exceeding 15g daily may cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Maintain standard industrial hygiene protocols during handling to avoid inhalation of dust particles.
