Adonitol (Ribitol, Adonite) is a five-carbon sugar alcohol (pentitol) supplied as a white, crystalline, water-soluble powder. It is used in biochemical and microbiological research as a carbon source, metabolic substrate, or standard in sugar fermentation and analytical studies.

In laboratory applications, Adonitol is employed in carbohydrate metabolism studies, microbial growth media formulations, and as a reference standard in chromatography and enzymatic assays. Its high purity and stability ensure reliable performance in experiments involving sugar alcohols, fermentation experiments, and metabolic pathway analyses.
