| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
D-Xylose is a five-carbon sugar that contributes to lignocellulose in plants. It is predominantly found in hardwoods and agricultural residues. | [Uses]
Diagnostic aid (intestinal function determination）. | [Application]
D-Xylose has been used:- 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.
| [Definition]
ChEBI: Alpha-D-xylose is a D-xylopyranose in with an alpha-configuration at the anomeric position. It has a role as an algal metabolite. | [Brand name]
Xylo-Pfan (Savage). | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Estimation of D-Xylose in the urine after oral administration, is useful in diagnosing absorption of carbohydrates and malabsorption of non-pancreatic molecules. D-Xylose plays a significant role in the biologically conversion of plant biomass to fuels and chemicals. |
