Ampersand Character in XML Schema

I have the following situation:

Native EDI document showing in the 'Item Description' an
ampersand ('&') charcter. My destination is a XML file.
Thus the outcome of the mapping process would be:
<Description>A&B</Description>. However the xml file fails
to validate against its own XML schema. Error: 'Reference
to undefined enity'. The culprit is '&' as this character
has special meaning in XML... How can I have BizTalk
replace '&' with & ?

Any ideas or ways around?

Thanks!
