Fields | Directions | Notes |
Food Processing | Table sugar [30] [31] | Taste similar to sucrose, 50% of sucrose sweetness, ready used as table sugar. |
| Functional food [32] [33] | Special health food additive for regulating blood sugar, used in diabetic foods, diet foods, and other functional foods. |
| Beverage [34] [35] | Can be added to functional drinks such as low sugar drinks, sugar-free drinks, tea drinks, milk drinks, vegetable protein drinks, fruit-vegetable juice drinks. It can also be used in spirit or wine to alleviate hangover. |
| Bake [36] [37] | L-Arabinose has a relatively stable structure and does not decompose at high temperatures. The Maillard reaction during baking makes the flavor of bakery products more unique and brighter. |
Biopharmaceutical | Rare sugar synthesis [38] [39] [40] | Substances for example L-ribose, L-ribulose, D-tagatose, L-arabinitol, and C-nucleosides were prepared by biological fermentation, chemical synthesis based on L-arabinose. |
| pharmaceutical [41] [42] [43] | Arabinose is an important pharmaceutical intermediate that not only can be used to synthesize cytarabine, L-arabinoside, L-ribose, deoxyribose, but also can be used to synthesize nucleoside antiviral drugs. |
Others | Energy [44] [45] | Strains that capable of producing energy substances such as ethanol and butanol using L-arabinose are obtained through domestication and genetic recombination. |
| Fine chemicals [46] [47] | Preparation of surfactants, metal-carbohydrate complexes. |
