Description

L-arabinose, also referred to as gum aldose and pectinose, is a stable sugar commonly found in the outer layers of fruits, coarse grains, and plant-based polysaccharides. Its high stability to heat and acid makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. The key functional benefits of L-arabinose include:

  • Inhibits Sucrose Absorption: L-arabinose effectively inhibits intestinal sucrase activity, reducing sucrose metabolism and glucose release into the bloodstream. This mechanism helps regulate postprandial blood sugar levels and supports diabetes management.
  • Promotes Weight Control: By interfering with sucrose digestion, L-arabinose lowers caloric intake and minimizes fat accumulation, making it a valuable ingredient in weight management formulations.
  • Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health: Research suggests that L-arabinose contributes to the prevention of obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, supporting overall metabolic health.

Alfa Chemistry offers high-purity L-arabinose with a specification of 99%, ensuring superior quality and consistency for various applications.
