L-Arabinose 98%

Arabinose 

It is a five-carbon monosaccharide with the formula C5H10O5, also known as L(+) -gluconose, L(+) -apentose, pectinose, etc. It has eight isomers, such as β-D-arabinose, β-L-arabinose and so on. In nature, D-arabinose is rare and mainly appears in some bacterial polysaccharides. L-arabinose is more common and can be extracted from the hemicellulose and fruit gum of corn husks, corn cobs, rice, wheat and other grains, as well as the cell walls of plants such as beets and apples

Function and application

1. Reduce energy absorption

Arabinose can reduce energy absorption by reducing the absorption of carbohydrates in the gut.

2. Regulate blood sugar

Arabinose inhibits the enzymes that hydrolyze disaccharides and therefore inhibits the rise in blood sugar caused by sucrose intake.

3. Change skeletal muscle fiber composition

Arabinose has the effect of altering the composition of skeletal muscle fibers, influencing the growth of abdominal adipose tissue by controlling glycolysis to sugar oxidation. This change in muscle fiber ratio may have a role in improving type 2 diabetes

4. Prebiotic effect

Arabinose can be utilized by intestinal flora in the intestine to produce short-chain fatty acids, provide nutrition for intestinal microecology, and have a prebiotic effect

5. Lower blood pressure

The antihypertensive effect of arabinose may be related to its inhibition of sucrose decomposition, which can improve the symptoms of hypertensive patients by reducing the absorption of sucrose
