Crystalline Pentose Ingredient

Water-soluble L-arabinose crystalline powder for food formulations, flavor development, and defined synthesis routes. Its mild sweetness, heat and acid stability, and reducing-sugar behavior give formulators several distinct ways to use one ingredient.

Sgnutri is the product brand. Shandong Saigao Equipment Co., Ltd. is the manufacturing entity.

What Is L-Arabinose?

L-arabinose is a five-carbon aldose with the molecular formula C5H10O5 and a molecular weight of 150.13 g/mol. It is supplied here as a sweet, water-soluble, white or off-white crystalline powder with no peculiar odor.

The “L” identifies the ingredient’s stereochemical form. That identity matters in biological and synthesis applications because a different stereoisomer can behave differently even when it has the same molecular formula.

How Its Key Properties Affect the Finished Product

L-arabinose is approximately half as sweet as sucrose. It can add mild sweetness to a blend, but it does not replace sucrose one for one when the target is the same sweetness or solids contribution.

Its water solubility supports use in beverages, liquid food systems, and dry products that are dissolved before consumption. Heat and acid stability also make it relevant to processed foods that encounter acidic conditions or elevated temperatures.

As a reducing sugar, L-arabinose can react with amino acids and proteins through Maillard browning. In baked goods and flavor systems, this can deepen color and contribute to roasted or cooked flavor development. The same reaction can create unwanted darkening when a light color is essential, so the surrounding proteins, amino acids, temperature, and heating time shape the result.

Where L-Arabinose Fits

Beverages and other aqueous foods

Water solubility allows L-arabinose to disperse into water-based formulas, while its sweetness is milder than sucrose. It therefore fits formulas that use L-arabinose alongside an existing sweetener system rather than relying on it as a one-for-one sucrose replacement.

Bakery and reaction-flavor systems

Heat stability keeps the ingredient relevant during thermal processing, and Maillard reactivity can build color and cooked flavor in formulas containing amino acids or proteins. It is a better fit when that browning supports the desired product profile; light-colored products with protein or amino acids require tighter control of heat exposure.

Defined biochemical and synthesis routes

L-arabinose can be hydrogenated to produce arabitol. The source material also supports microbial fermentation and gene-improvement experiments, and it can serve as a starting material for L-ribose and certain pharmaceutical-intermediate routes. These uses require the L stereochemical form of the sugar.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store L-arabinose in dry, well-ventilated conditions. The specified shelf life is 24 months.
