L-Rhamnose Monohydrate Natural Deoxy Monosaccharide Powder

L-Rhamnose Monohydrate

1. Product Introduction

L-Rhamnose Monohydrate, also named 6-Deoxy-L-mannose, is a naturally occurring deoxy monosaccharide widely distributed in plants, pectin, plant glycosides and bacterial cell wall polysaccharides. Our product appears as white to off-white crystalline powder, odorless and possesses mild sweet flavor, the sweetness is approximately 33% of sucrose. It is easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in methanol and sparingly soluble in ethanol.

We adopt advanced production process for manufacturing. The finished product complies with our enterprise standard with high purity ≥98.0% tested by HPLC. L-Rhamnose Monohydrate is a versatile raw material, extensively applied in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries, as well as biochemical research fields. It helps moisturize skin, relieve skin irritation and strengthen skin barrier in cosmetic formulations. For pharmaceutical area, it works as key intermediate for glycoside compounds and vaccine polysaccharide, also used as biochemical testing reagent and microbial culture medium. In food industry, it acts as low-calorie natural sweetener and important raw material for aroma & flavor synthesis.
