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.
