L-ARABINOSE Supplier in Malaysia
L-ARABINOSE supplier in Malaysia for food, beverage, flavour and laboratory buyers requiring the specified L stereoisomer. L-arabinose is an aldopentose monosaccharide supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder and identified under CAS 5328-37-0.
Commercial requirements include food-grade crystalline powder, particle-size-controlled material for dry processing and laboratory or reagent grade. Buyers should define purity, stereochemical identity, moisture, colour and particle size rather than purchasing against the generic arabinose name.
Food and beverage manufacturers use L-arabinose in selected flavour systems, powdered beverages, premixes and other processed formulations whose recipe names this ingredient. Laboratory buyers specify it for carbohydrate research, biochemical preparation and development work.
L-arabinose is distinct from D-arabinose and from other monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose and xylose. Send the required grade, stereochemical and purity specification, particle requirement, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and timing are confirmed with the quotation.

L-ARABINOSE grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food-grade L-arabinose | white to off-white crystalline powder | — | Food, beverage and flavour formulations that specify the L stereoisomer and require ingredient-grade identity, purity and microbiological controls. | Confirm the required powder pack format with the quotation. |
| Particle-size-controlled L-arabinose | fine or selected-mesh crystalline powder | — | Dry premixes, powdered beverages and food-processing systems where the buyer defines particle size, blend uniformity and dissolution requirements for the L-arabinose ingredient. | Pack format is confirmed for the quoted particle grade and quantity. |
| Laboratory or reagent grade L-arabinose | crystalline powder | — | Carbohydrate research, biochemical preparation and development work that requires the L stereoisomer against a stated purity and identity specification. | Laboratory pack format and documentation are confirmed with the quotation. |

Common questions about L-ARABINOSE
What is L-arabinose?
L-arabinose is the L stereoisomer of arabinose, an aldopentose monosaccharide. The stereochemical prefix is part of the purchasing identity, so a specification should name L-arabinose rather than relying on the broader sugar-family description.
Is L-arabinose the same as D-arabinose?
No. They are stereoisomers with different three-dimensional arrangements. A requirement for L-arabinose should not be quoted as D-arabinose, and the stereochemical identity should be confirmed in the raw-material specification.
Can the name arabinose be used without the L prefix?
The unqualified name can be ambiguous in a purchasing context. Use L-arabinose and CAS 5328-37-0 when that is the identity required, especially where stereochemistry forms part of the formulation or laboratory method.
Is L-arabinose the same as glucose, fructose or xylose?
No. These are separate monosaccharides with their own identities and formulation behaviour. They should be purchased against their own names and specifications rather than treated as grades of one sugar.
How is L-arabinose used in food and beverage formulations?
It is used in selected flavour, beverage and food-processing formulations where the recipe specifies L-arabinose as a flavouring agent or adjuvant. The manufacturer determines the appropriate grade and use level for the finished product.
Which specifications matter when buying L-arabinose?
State identity, purity, stereochemical confirmation, moisture, colour, particle size and any relevant microbiological limits. Include the finished application and process so the quoted grade can be compared on the correct basis.
What information is needed for an L-arabinose quote in Malaysia?
Provide the grade, purity and stereochemical requirements, particle size if relevant, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention packing and document needs so they can be confirmed with the quotation.
