What is D-Ribose CAS 50-69-1?

D-Ribose is a naturally occurring five-carbon monosaccharide supplied as a white crystalline powder. It has the molecular formula C5H10O5, a molecular weight of 150.13 g/mol, and the EINECS number 200-059-4.

Is D-Ribose the same as ribose or D-ribofuranose?

Yes. D-Ribose, D-ribofuranose, and D-ribopyranose describe the same monosaccharide depending on whether it is shown in the open-chain or cyclic form. The names are used interchangeably for the ingredient identified by CAS 50-69-1.

What are the main food and supplement uses of D-Ribose?

It is used in dietary supplements, sports nutrition products, energy drinks, and functional foods. In these applications D-Ribose supports cellular energy formulations and provides a mildly sweet, readily soluble carbohydrate source.

What grade and purity is D-Ribose normally available in?

Food grade, USP grade, and biochemical grade are common, with food-grade material frequently meeting FCC requirements. Commercial powder specifications are often around 97.0-102.0%, with the appropriate grade selected for the intended application.

How should D-Ribose powder be stored and handled?

Store it in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area because the powder is hygroscopic and sensitive to moisture. Avoid humid conditions and keep packaging intact to preserve flowability, stability, and product quality.
