1. Xylose

   Xylose (cf. Ancient Greek: ξύλον, xylon, "wood") is a sugar first isolated from wood, and named for it. Xylose is classified as a monosaccharide of the aldopentose type, which means that it contains five carbon atoms and includes an aldehyde functional group. It is derived from hemicellulose, one of the main constituents of biomass. Like most sugars, it can adopt several structures depending on conditions. With its free aldehyde group, it is a reducing sugar.

1. xylose

   Xylose is a type of sugar classified as a monosaccharide, which is a simple form of sugar that the body can easily convert into energy. It has the same chemical formula as glucose but its structure and the way the human body processes it are different. Xylose is typically derived from straw, hulls, wood or corn cobs. Unlike glucose, it is not very often found in our standard diet, but is added as a sweetener in some chewing gums or medicines.
