L-arabinose powder, also known as pectin powder, is a sweetener very similar in sweetness to sucrose, about half as sweet. It does not produce heat in the human intestine and can be used as a sweetener instead of sucrose.

L-arabinose powder

L-Arabinose is considered a rare sugar that can be found naturally within the structures of most fruits and vegetables. Due to its low caloric sweetening effects, arabinose is commonly used in nutritional supplements and prescription drugs. In addition to its sweetening effects, when reacted with amino acid blends, using the Maillard Reaction, arabinose is able to contribute to the production of savory and meaty flavors used within the food and flavor industry. Arabinose powder is commonly used in the Flavor Industry to produce meaty or cooked or roasted flavors.
