  • Applications

    Pentose (CAS 1132639-46-3) is a monosaccharide class widely used as a biotechnological feedstock and fermentation substrate in biorefineries to produce bio-based chemicals (for example, xylitol and other value-added products). It also serves as a building block for nucleotide and nucleoside synthesis in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Through acid-catalyzed dehydration, pentoses yield furfural, a platform chemical used to make resins, solvents, and other specialty chemicals. Derivatives of furfural derived from pentoses enable resin formulations for coatings and adhesives, supporting the development of bio-based polymers and materials. Additionally, pentose can be explored as a feedstock for producing furan-based monomers and polymers in the plastics and materials sectors.
