L-arabinose is a naturally occurring pentose with a sweet taste and is widely distributed as a component of complex non-starch polysaccharides in plant cell walls and plant gums.
As a low-calorie sugar-substitute sweetener, the sweetness of L-arabinose is about half that of sucrose. L-arabinose can inhibit sucrose absorption and then inhibit the increase of blood sugar. L-arabinose is an intermediate in flavor industry for producing flavors, the derivates of L-arabinose can be used in the development of antiviral agent such as nucleoside.
