The present invention relates to the use of dihydroxyacetone ("DHA") in the preparation of a number of natural and rare carbohydrates. The present invention comprises three stages. In the first stage of the present invention, syngas and formaldehyde are produced from natural gas, biogas, biomass and C02 from industrial plants including electricity generating plants, steel mills, cement factories and bio refineries. In the second stage of the present invention, formaldehyde and syngas from first stage are condensed to produce DHA. In the third stage of the present invention, DHA serves as a starting material for the synthesis of natural and rare carbohydrates using enzymes belonging to isomerase, aldolases, epimerase and transketolase groups.
