L-Xylose is a sugar first extracted from wood, and named for it. Xylose is classified as a monosaccharide of the aldopentose type, which means that it contains five carbon atoms and includes an aldehyde functional group. It is derived from hemicellulose, one of the main constituents of biomass. Like most sugars, it can adopt several structures depending on conditions. With its free aldehyde group, it is a reducing sugar. References: Meng Q, Zhang T, Jiang B, Mu W, Miao M. Advances in applications, metabolism, and biotechnological production of L-xylulose.
