Xylonic acid is a [[sugar acid]] derived from the [[pentose]] sugar [[xylose]]. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water. Xylonic acid is commonly used in the food industry as a [[food additive]] and in the production of various [[chemical compound]]s.<br />
=== Properties ===<br />
Xylonic acid has a chemical formula of C5H8O6 and a molar mass of 164.11 g/mol. It is classified as a [[dicarboxylic acid]] due to its two [[carboxylic acid]] functional groups. Xylonic acid exhibits [[chirality]] with two [[enantiomer]]ic forms, D-xylonic acid and L-xylonic acid.<br />
=== Production ===<br />
Xylonic acid can be produced through the oxidation of xylose using various methods such as [[fermentation]] or [[chemical synthesis]]. One common method involves the oxidation of xylose using [[bacteria]] or [[enzyme]]s to convert it into xylonic acid.<br />
=== Uses ===<br />
Xylonic acid has several applications in the food industry as a [[preservative]] and [[acidulant]]. It is also used in the production of [[bioplastic]]s, [[pharmaceutical drug]]s, and [[cosmetic product]]s. Additionally, xylonic acid can be utilized in [[organic synthesis]] for the preparation of various chemical compounds.<br />
