Xylose is a component of xylan, which is widely present in plants. Xylose is also present in animal heparin, chondroitin, and glycoproteins. It is the connecting unit between the sugar chain and serine (or threonine) in certain glycoproteins.
Xylitol is mainly produced through reduction and hydrogenation, which has a wider range of uses.
