Explore our certified active pharmaceutical ingredients, plant extracts, and premium dietary supplements.
L-Rhamnose Monohydrate (CAS Number: 10030-85-0) is a naturally occurring deoxyhexose sugar that plays a pivotal role as a trace structural component in plant cell walls, bacterial lipopolysaccharides, and glycosides. Unlike its counterpart D-rhamnose, which is rare in nature, the L-isomer is widely distributed and is an essential carbohydrate compound utilized in medical diagnostics, pharmaceutical synthesis, cosmetics, and advanced food technologies.
Chemically, it is classified as a methylpentose sugar, with the molecular formula C6H12O5·H2O. In its pure crystalline state, L-Rhamnose Monohydrate presents as a brilliant white, highly soluble crystalline powder with a moderately sweet taste. Because it cannot be easily metabolized by most human tissues or common metabolic pathways in the same manner as D-glucose, it exhibits highly unique physiological attributes, particularly in evaluating intestinal health and barrier functions.
A trusted global supplier of dietary ingredients, enzymes, amino acids, and high-purity natural extracts with over two decades of industry expertise.

Shaanxi ShineHerb Biotech Co., Ltd. is a modern, high-tech enterprise dedicated to the R&D, manufacturing, and distribution of premium enzyme preparations, plant extracts, vitamins, amino acids, and pharmaceutical intermediates. Based in the High-Tech Development Zone of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, our operations are optimized to offer the global life sciences, nutrition, and food industries competitive pricing, uncompromised purity, and custom formulation solutions.
With an extensive footprint across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia, ShineHerb Biotech has forged a legacy of dependability. Our manufacturing processes conform strictly to standard operation procedures under GMP and ISO9001 protocols, ensuring that every batch of active ingredients meets internationally recognized monographs (USP, EP, FCC).
Discover how Shaanxi ShineHerb Biotech delivers structural cost savings, advanced chemical processing, and supply chain continuity.
Our proximity to rich natural agricultural resources allows us to source botanical starting materials (e.g., quercitrin, rutin) directly. This direct vertical integration mitigates the price volatility common to global intermediate chemical markets.
By leveraging advanced automated hydrolysis, filtration, and crystallization technologies in our Xi'an facilities, we optimize solvent recovery and minimize power consumption. These efficiencies translate directly into massive savings for bulk purchasers.
Equipped with state-of-the-art crystallization tanks and large-scale industrial centrifuges, our factories can scale production up to several metric tons per month without compromising the purity profile or particle size distribution of the final powder.
Ensuring compliance, chemical stability, and complete batch-to-batch consistency for regulatory peace of mind.
Quality is our core mechanism for survival. ShineHerb Biotech maintains a strict control loop that tests every raw material entry, solvent profile, batch impurity level, and microbiological count to meet international expectations.
We supply detailed HPLC assays, particle size profiles, solvent residue charts (GC-MS), and heavy metal tests. Our professional support team assists formulation scientists in optimizing solubility, stability, and taste parameters.
Our plants are designed and maintained according to strict international GMP requirements. We ensure fully auditable documentation, lot traceability, and clean-room environments to meet stringent pharma and supplement directives.
How L-Rhamnose is applied across diverse sectors, including clinical medicine, anti-aging cosmetics, and food technology.
In medical research and gastroenterology, L-Rhamnose is co-administered with Lactulose in the Lactulose-Rhamnose (L/R) ratio test. Because L-Rhamnose is small enough to pass through transcellular pathways but not metabolized, measuring its recovery rate in urine acts as a critical biomarker for leaky gut syndrome and mucosal barrier integrity.
L-Rhamnose is extensively studied for its ability to target and stimulate papillary fibroblasts, triggering the synthesis of structural proteins such as Collagen IV and Pro-collagen I. It serves as an active anti-wrinkle agent in premium skin creams, promoting cell renewal, skin thickness, and elasticity without inducing irritation.
In the culinary and food technology sectors, L-Rhamnose functions as a key precursor in the synthesis of furaneol (DMHF)—a highly valued caramel-like aroma component. Under controlled thermal conditions during the Maillard reaction, L-Rhamnose reacts with amino acids to generate natural bakery, coffee, and roasted meat flavors.
Navigating global border controls, import clearance, and phytosanitary rules is one of the biggest challenges in B2B chemical distribution. Shaanxi ShineHerb Biotech removes this friction through structural logistics networks and comprehensive compliance declarations.
For US and European markets, we assist our partners by offering complete regulatory files including DMF templates, TSE/BSE-free statements, Non-GMO verification, and Allergen declarations. In regions like North America and the Middle East, our local support networks ensure we provide customs clearance assistance to avoid supply chain disruptions.
