DL-Arabinose Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white fine crystalline powder

Uses

DL-Arabinose is used in physicochemical studies to measure properties such as dielectric relaxation. It may be used in chiral separation of sugars. DL-Arabinose, is a building block of polysaccharide (CCPa-1) from fungus Coprinus comatus Gray, which has potential application as natural antitumor agent with immunomodulatory activity. Arabinose is also used as a culture medium for certain bacteria.

Uses

As culture medium for certain bacteria.

Definition
