What is L-Arabinose
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-substituting sweetener, the relative sweetness of L-Arabinose equals to half of the Sucrose's. Some research suggested that L-Arabinose selectively inhibit sucrose absorption and then inhibit the increase of blood sugar.
Furthermore, L-Arabinose is an intermediate in flavor industry for producing flavors, the derivates of L-Arabinose can be used in the development of antiviral agents such as nucleoside.

Benefits
Sugar-substituting sweetener
L-Arabinose has a nice, sweet taste that does not linger in the mouth and has no aftertaste. No-calorie sweeter, it's not metabolized in humans. No side-effects were reported
Inhibiting sucrose absorption
The sucrase enzyme normally splits the sucrose molecule into one D-glucose and one D-fructose molecule. During the period that the sucrase enzyme is inhibited by L-Arabinose, the splitting of sucrose is delayed or even prevented, and the release of D-glucose and D-fructose to the blood is delayed.
Therefore L-Arabinose selectively inhibits the sucrase enzyme in the small-intestine in an uncompetitive manner.
Dosage: add 3% -5% L-Arabinose in Sucrose.
Raw material for Drug Synthesis
L-Nucleosides and their analogues have become useful agents for the treatment of viral diseases due in part to their good antiviral activity and generally low toxicity.
