What is L-arabinose? L-arabinose, also known as gum aldose;It's a glutaraldehyde sugar.

L-arabinose is rarely present in the form of monosaccharides in nature. It is usually combined with

other monosaccharides and in the form of heteropolysaccharides in colloids, semi-fibrinoids,pectinic

acids, bacterial polysaccharides and some glycosides.It has high stability to heat and acid.L-arabinose,

a low-calorie sweetener, has been approved as a health food additive by the U.S. food and drug

administration and Japan's health ministry.The most representative physiological function of l-arabinose

is to selectively influence the sucrase that digests sucrose in the small intestine disaccharide hydrolase,

thereby inhibiting the absorption of sucrose.
It has been reported that the addition of 3.5% l-arabinose can inhibit the absorption of 60-70% sucrose,

and at the same time, it also inhibits the rise of the blood glucose level by about 50%.The American medical

association has listed l-arabinose as a dietary supplement or over-the-counter medicine used as an anti-obesity

agent. L-arabinose has been listed as a special health food additive for regulating blood sugar in the list of specific

health food used by the health ministry of Japan. The ministry of health of China listed l-arabinose as a new resource

food in May 2008.
