L(+)Rhamnose

Product Description

L(+)-Rhamnose (C₆H₁₂O₅) is a naturally occurring deoxy sugar belonging to the family of monosaccharides. It is found in many plants, bacterial polysaccharides, and glycosides, and serves as a key structural component in natural products and biomolecules.
This high-purity carbohydrate is widely used in biochemical research, microbiology, and pharmaceutical synthesis. In laboratories, L(+)-Rhamnose functions as a carbon source for microbial cultures, a reference standard in carbohydrate analysis, and a precursor for glycoside and flavor compound synthesis. Its optical activity and high purity make it ideal for analytical and biotechnological applications.
