description Product Description

L-Arabinose is widely used in the food industry as a low-calorie sweetener due to its ability to inhibit the absorption of sucrose in the intestines. It is particularly effective in reducing blood sugar levels, making it a popular ingredient in health-conscious products aimed at managing diabetes or promoting weight loss. Additionally, it serves as a prebiotic, supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and improving digestive health. In the pharmaceutical sector, L-Arabinose is utilized in the development of drugs targeting metabolic disorders. It also finds applications in cosmetic formulations for its moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties. Furthermore, it is used in microbiological research as a carbon source in culture media for studying microbial growth and metabolism.
