Biological Activity:
Ribitol (Adonitol) is a sugar alcohol formed by the reduction of ribose. Ribitol (Adonitol) is a crystalline pentose alcohol. Ribitol (Adonitol) occurs naturally in the plant Adonis vernalis, as well as in the cell walls of Gram positive bacteria (specifically, as ribitol phosphate, in teichoic acids).Ribitol (Adonitol) also contributes to the chemical structure of riboflavin.
