Rhamnose Monohydrate 98%

Rhamnose, 6-Deoxy-L-Mannopyranose, is extracted from the hydrolytic liquid of quercetin in white crystalline granules or crystalline powder. As the rare monosaccharide existed in the nature, it can be used for assaying intestinal permeability or used as sweetener. It can also be used to synthesize glycosyl groups of cardiac drugs and fragrances

Rhamnose is a naturally-occurring deoxy sugar. It can be classified either as a methyl-pentose or a 6-deoxy-hexose. Rhamnose powder occurs in nature in its L-form as L-rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose).

This is unusual since most of the naturally-occurring sugars are in D-form. Exceptions are the methyl pentoses L-fucose and L-rhamnose and the pentose L-arabinose.

L-Rhamnose monohydrate can be used for assaying intestinal permeability or be used as sweetener.

It can also be used for the production of flavors and fragrances.
