Xylose is a monosaccharide sugar derived from hemicellulose, with an aldehyde group and various ring forms. It is found in plants, beetles and some animal tissues, and can be used for chemicals, human consumption and hydrogen production.
Xylose is a monosaccharide of the aldopentose type consisted of five carbon atoms and an aldehyde functional group. Xylose is a sugar isolated from wood. D-Xylose is a sugar widely used as a diabetic sweetener in food and beverage. Xylose has also been used as a diagnostic agent to observe malabsorption.

Xylose is the supreme and most attractive sugar obtained from hemicellulosic fraction of lignocellulosic biomass. Biological processes that use pentose-rich biomass as the sole carbon source will help to minimise raw material prices while also ensuring process sustainability.
Xylose is a monosaccharide with a linear chain structure and a chemical formula of C5H10O5. It is a natural sweetener, a prebiotic, and a biofuel precursor with various applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels industries.
Xylose is a five-carbon sugar that can exist in different forms, such as a linear molecule, a five-membered ring and a six-membered ring. Learn about its formula, molecular weight, stereoisomers, other names, and thermochemical data from NIST WebBook.
Xylose is an unusual carbohydrate in mammalian cells and so far only found as the linker between the protein and the glycosaminoglycan chains of some proteoglycans, and in the Notch receptor. UDP-xylose, i.e. the activated building block used in mammalian cells, is synthesized from UDP-glucose.
