Xylose

Xylose is a monosaccharide that belongs to the pentose group and is one of the components of connective tissue glycosaminoglycan. It can also be found in urine in a condition known as pentosuria.

Xylose is made up of five carbohydrate rings that are linked together in a specific pattern. It has a sweet taste and can be used as a source of energy for the body's cells.

As part of the glycosaminoglycans of connective tissue, xylose plays an important role in the formation of the structure of connective tissue and maintaining its function. In addition, xylose can be used as a medicine in the treatment of certain diseases such as diabetes and some types of cancer.

However, xylose can also cause some side effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Therefore, before using xylose, you should consult your doctor and follow his recommendations.



Xylosopsis - Xylose is a pentose that has a fruit-like flavor and is widely used as an ingredient in beverages and confectionery, a food additive, and in biotechnological processes. Monosaccharide, belongs to the pentose group. It changes during enzymatic hydrolysis at the β-bond in the C-2 side chain with the participation of xylo-β-fucoside. Thus, there are 8 stereoisomers of xylulose (only β- and γ-isomers have been discovered and studied). Isomers of xytose can be, for example, α-D-ribonose and its optical isomers, 2-deoxy-α-D-arabinopyranose, L-xylulose and their optical isomers. It is a component of ectopic glycogen (glycosaminoglycan) - gonococcal sialic acid, since
