D-xylose




Description


D-xylose is a pentose sugar derived from hemicellulosic fractions of lignocellulosic biomass, such as birchwood and corn residues. It serves as the primary substrate for the biological or chemical production of xylitol and is typically present in hydrolysates as a mixture with glucose following biomass deconstruction [361].
