  <name>2-O-Methylxylose</name>
  <description>2-o-methylxylose is a member of the class of compounds known as pentoses. Pentoses are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains five carbon atoms. 2-o-methylxylose is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-o-methylxylose can be found in date, which makes 2-o-methylxylose a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
