Rhamnose is an unusual sugar that is found primarily in plants and some bacteria. Unlike most natural sugars, it is found in an L configuration instead of the usual D configuration. It forms a major structural component of plant cell walls and is also bound to other compounds, such as phenolics. In some gram negative bacteria, the sugar is bound to lipids. Both the pure compound and the lipid component have a number of uses in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and cosmetic industries.

In addition to its unusual L structural configuration, this unusual compound is also atypical because it is a deoxy sugar. Such sugars are usually components of DNA or RNA. This compound is found as simple sugar in some plants, but more commonly is found as a glycoside. Such structures combine a sugar with another compound, such as a phenolic.

One highly important and widespread use of this sugar in plants is as a component of polysaccharides known as rhamnogalacturonans. Such polymers are important for plant cell wall structural integrity and comprise part of pectin, one of the substances that holds plant cell walls together. These are long chains of L-rhamnose mixed with galacturonic acid. There are different types of rhamnogalacturonans that vary in their degree of branching and components, which may include other sugars.
