Arabinose is a five-carbon aldopentose sugar, classified as a monosaccharide. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water, exhibiting a sweet taste. Arabinose is commonly found in various plant polysaccharides, particularly in hemicelluloses, and plays a significant role in plant cell wall structure. Its molecular formula is C5H10O5, and it exists in several isomeric forms, with D-arabinose being the most prevalent in nature. The sugar can undergo fermentation and is utilized in various biochemical applications, including as a carbon source in microbial growth media. Arabinose is also of interest in the food industry and research, particularly in studies related to dietary fibers and prebiotics. In terms of reactivity, arabinose can participate in Maillard reactions, contributing to flavor and color development in food processing. Its CAS number, 20235-19-2, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
