L-Arabinose is a food-grade rare pentose sugar found in plant cell walls, known to selectively inhibit sucrase activity and reduce the glycemic response to sucrose.We supply bulk Arabinose sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form to meet global food industry demand. Our Arabinose is widely used in confectionery, diabetic-friendly functional foods, weight-management supplements, blood-sugar support formulas and sweetener blends.
L-Arabinose is a naturally occurring pentose sugar (C₅H₁₀O₅) produced by acid hydrolysis and purification from hemicellulose sources such as corn husk or sugar beet pulp.
It has about half the sweetness of sucrose and selectively inhibits the intestinal enzyme sucrase, slowing absorption of sucrose and lowering its glycemic impact. Widely used in diabetic-friendly confectionery, beverages and functional foods.
