Definition
L-rhamnofuranose is a member of the class of compounds known as pentoses. Pentoses are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains five carbon atoms. L-rhamnofuranose is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). L-rhamnofuranose can be found in a number of food items such as guava, babassu palm, wild celery, and red beetroot, which makes L-rhamnofuranose a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
