Products Description
High-Purity L-Arabinose Powder (99.5%+ Purity) | FDA, EU & Kosher Certified | Natural Sugar-Blocking, Low-Calorie (0.5kcal/g) Sweetener
Our L-Arabinose Powder is a 100% natural monosaccharide derived from plant hemicelluloses (corn cob, arabic gum) via bio-enzymatic extraction and precision purification. It is a unique dual-functional ingredient: a mild sweetener (50% as sweet as sucrose) with a clean, neutral taste, and a proven sugar blocker that inhibits sucrase activity-reducing the absorption of dietary sucrose by up to 60%. Unlike synthetic sugar blockers or high-potency sweeteners, our L-Arabinose contains no artificial additives, GMOs, or residual solvents, making it the ideal choice for global "clean label" brands targeting weight management, diabetic, and health-conscious consumer markets.
With an ultra-low calorie content (0.5kcal/g, 87% less than sucrose) and glycemic index (GI ≤ 2), our L-Arabinose Powder does not spike blood glucose levels, supporting healthy metabolism. It exhibits excellent thermal stability (retains 97% activity at 180°C for 30 mins) and water solubility, compatible with high-temperature processing (baking, pasteurization) and diverse formulations. Fully compliant with FDA 21 CFR §184.1350, EU Regulation (EC) 1333/2008 (E955), and USP 45 standards, it is Kosher, Halal, and vegan-certified-trusted by 380+ brands across North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania for its consistent performance, safety, and regulatory compliance.

FAQ
Everything You Need to Know
High-Purity L-Arabinose Powder (99.5%+ Purity)
What is L-Arabinose Powder?
It's a 100% natural monosaccharide derived from plant hemicelluloses (corn cob, arabic gum) via bio-enzymatic extraction. It acts as a mild sweetener (50% of sucrose) and sugar blocker, inhibiting sucrose absorption by up to 60%-ideal for low-sugar, weight-management products.
What is the purity of your L-Arabinose Powder?
Our standard purity is ≥99.5% (HPLC-verified), with a premium 99.8% grade available for pharmaceutical and high-end supplement applications. High purity ensures consistent sugar-blocking activity and compliance.
Is it stable under high temperature during baking/pasteurization?
Yes. It retains 97% of its sugar-blocking activity and sweetness at 180°C for 30 mins-ideal for baking (cookies, cakes), pasteurization (beverages), and extrusion (snacks). Far more stable than synthetic sugar blockers.
How does it block sugar absorption?
It inhibits the activity of sucrase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down dietary sucrose into glucose and fructose. This reduces sucrose absorption by up to 60%, limiting calorie intake and blood glucose spikes-proven by clinical testing.
Is it safe for diabetics and low-GI diets?
Yes. With a GI ≤2 and 0.5kcal/g, it does not spike blood glucose levels, making it safe for diabetics and low-GI diets. It's approved by global health authorities (FDA, EU) for use in diabetic-friendly products.
What's the recommended addition level for different applications?
Beverages: 5%-15%, baking: 10%-20%, confectionery: 15%-25%, supplements: 25%-40%. We provide customized guidelines based on your product type and target sugar-blocking efficacy.
Does it have a bitter aftertaste?
No. It has a clean, neutral taste with no bitter, metallic, or off-notes-blends seamlessly with other ingredients. Its mild sweetness (50% of sucrose) makes it ideal for blending with high-potency sweeteners like stevia.
Is it vegan, Kosher, and Halal certified?
Yes. It's derived from plant sources (corn cob, arabic gum), vegan-certified. It's also Kosher (OU) and Halal (IFANCA) certified, suitable for all dietary and religious restrictions.
What is the shelf life of L-Arabinose Powder?
24 months when sealed and stored in a cool, dry environment (15-25°C, RH ≤50%). Once opened, use within 2 months to prevent moisture absorption and maintain sugar-blocking activity.
Can I get samples and test reports before bulk orders?
Free 100g–1kg samples (99.5% purity) are available with a Certificate of Analysis (HPLC-tested purity, GI value). SGS/Eurofins test reports and certification documents are provided on request-98% of clients place bulk orders after sample verification.
