Product Overview
L-Arabinose appears as a white crystalline powder and has a sweetness approximately 50% that of sucrose. It inhibits sucrase activity in the small intestine, thereby reducing sucrose absorption. Additionally, it acts as a prebiotic, promoting the proliferation of *Bifidobacterium*.

Key Benefits of L-Arabinose
Inhibit sucrose absorption
arabinose selectively inhibits sucrase activity in the small intestine, thereby blocking the breakdown of sucrose into glucose and fructose; consequently, this portion of sugar is not absorbed into the bloodstream but instead passes directly into the large intestine.
Stable Postprandial Blood Glucose and Insulin
Because the absorption of sucrose is partially blocked, the rate at which postprandial blood glucose rises slows down, and the insulin response is correspondingly reduced.
Reduce fat synthesis
Undegraded sucrose enters the large intestine and undergoes fermentation to produce organic acids, which inhibit hepatic fat synthesis and help reduce the formation of new fat in the body.

Formulation Notes |
|
Beverages (carbonated drinks/fruit juice/milk tea) |
Limit ≤5.0 g/kg |
Inhibit sucrose absorption and lower postprandial blood glucose peaks. |
Suitable for liquid matrices; the effect is more pronounced than with solid foods. |
|
Baking/Confectionery |
Generally not exceeding 5%; limit for confectionery ≤10.0 g/kg. |
Replaces a portion of sucrose to lower the GI; the Maillard reaction enhances color and aroma. |
It is heat-stable and is not metabolized by yeast during fermentation; |
|
Dairy Products/Yogurt |
Limit ≤3.0 g/kg |
Synergistic probiotics regulate the gut. |
It can be used in combination as a prebiotic ingredient. |
|
Weight management foods |
Often formulated in combination with white kidney bean extract, dietary fiber, and probiotics. |
Blocks sucrose absorption + inhibits fat synthesisenhances heat resistance. |
It exhibits a synergistic effect on lipase inhibition when combined with xylo-oligosaccharides. fine grinding and tempering processes. |
