D-Ribose CAS 50-69-1

What D-Ribose Is

D-ribose is an aldopentose monosaccharide, one of the simplest five-carbon sugars, sold as a white crystalline powder with a clean, mildly sweet taste and good solubility in water. Commercial material is made by microbial fermentation rather than extraction, giving a non-animal, non-GMO ingredient. D-ribose forms part of RNA and ATP, and this is the basis for its use in energy and heart-health products. UATChem supplies food and supplement grade powder, with finer or pharmacopoeia grade lots available for synthesis work. The powder is non-hazardous but hygroscopic and is kept sealed and dry.

Supplement, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Use

• Dietary supplements. Used in sports and heart-energy powder blends, recovery formulas, tablets and capsules aimed at ATP energy metabolism, often combined with other energy and pump ingredients.
• Functional food and drinks. A fast-dissolving, lightly sweet ingredient for energy drinks, stick packs and functional foods at food grade, with a clean taste and good mouthfeel.
• Pharmaceutical and laboratory use. Serves as the sugar base for nucleoside and nucleotide drug synthesis, including antiviral routes, and as a reagent for cell culture and biochemical work.

Typical Specifications

Food and supplement grade follows typical heavy metal and microbiological limits; pharmacopoeia or customer-specific methods and certificates are confirmed per order, and the COA for each lot reports the measured values.

Packaging, Documents and Ordering

• Packed in 1 kg foil bags for samples and small supplement runs and 25 kg fiber drums with liner for volume; keep containers sealed, cool and dry because the powder is hygroscopic, and the product ships as ordinary, non-hazardous cargo.
• Every lot carries a COA with assay, specific rotation, loss on drying, heavy metals and microbiological results, together with SDS; food grade allergen, non-GMO and vegan statements and certificates can be discussed at inquiry and samples are supported.
• In sports and energy blends D-ribose is often paired with Betaine Anhydrous CAS 107-43-7. For a quote, send the grade (food, supplement or pharmacopoeia), quantity, packing and destination port.

FAQ

Q: What is D-ribose powder used for?

A: It goes into sports and energy supplement powders, drinks and functional foods, plus nucleoside drug synthesis.

Q: Is your D-ribose fermented and suitable for vegan products?

A: Yes, fermentation gives a non-GMO, vegan-friendly ingredient with no animal source, for supplement and food use.

Q: How is D-ribose packed and does it absorb moisture?

A: It is hygroscopic, so it ships in sealed 1 kg foil bags or 25 kg fiber drums with liner, kept dry and cool, with COA and SDS.
