- Wood sugar: a sugar extracted from wood or straw; used in foods for diabetics
- Xylose (cf. Greek u03BEu03CDu03BBu03BFu03BD, 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 a formyl 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...
- A pentose sugar, C5H10O5, found in the cell walls of basidiomycetes.
- A 5 carbon (pentose) sugar present in grass hemicellulose.
- (C5H10O5) A five-carbon sugar. A product of hydrolysis of xylan found in the hemicellulose fraction of biomass.
- Pentose found in grapes, juices, musts and wine; not metabolized by Saccharomyces
