D-Xylose is a naturally occurring pentose (five-carbon) sugar derived from hemicellulose in plant biomass such as corn cobs, straw, and wood. It is metabolized independently of insulin, making it useful in low-glycemic food formulations. It also serves as a fermentation substrate in biotechnology and as a key precursor for producing furfural and xylitol.
