a crystalline aldopentose sugar (C5H10O5) obtained from plant material such as wood, straw, or corncobs

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Biochemists extract xylose from agricultural plant waste to produce biofuel and alternative sweeteners. Xylose is commonly known as wood sugar because it was first isolated from natural plant timber. Certain specialized yeasts can ferment xylose into ethanol for renewable energy applications. Doctors use a xylose absorption test to evaluate the nutrient absorption capacity of the human intestine. The food industry processes xylose to manufacture xylitol, a popular low-calorie sugar substitute.
