Rhamnose Analysis Service

Rhamnose (Rha or Rham) is a naturally occurring deoxy sugar, categorized as a methylpentose or 6-deoxyhexose. In nature, rhamnose predominantly occurs in its L-form, commonly known as L-rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose). This sugar is found abundantly in various plants, such as Rhamnus, Toxicodendron, and Uncaria species, as well as in microorganisms, including diatoms of the Bacillariophyceae family. The biosynthesis of rhamnose involves complex pathways, and its unique structural and biological properties facilitate its extensive use in fields such as food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
