General description
Xylose is a five-carbon sugar that contributes to lignocellulose in plants. Xylose is predominantly found in hardwoods and agricultural residues.
Application
- as one of the component to stimulate microbial activity
- for the enhancement of biofilm formation
- as a part of biochemical tests for the identification of B. cereus group
- for substrate screening characterization
Biochem/physiol Actions
Estimation of xylose in the urine after oral administration, is useful in diagnosing absorption of carbohydrates and malabsorption of non-pancreatic molecules. Xylose plays a significant role in the biologically conversion of plant biomass to fuels and chemicals.
Quality
White to off-white.
