XYLITOL

XYLITOL

Xylitol is a polyol with close-to-sugar sweetness. It can be used to **0% replace sucrose in various applications, such as confectionery, dairy, beverage, bakery, oral hygiene products, daily care etc.

1. Healthy sweetener: the sweetness of xylitol is equal to sucrose, its extracted from natural raw materials. As a natural and healthy sweetener, xylitolcan be used in sugar-free food, sugar-free candy and other health food.

2. Anti-caries: Xylitol can't be fermented by dental caries-producing bacteria, and its anti-caries properties are best among all sweeteners. It can be widely used in various oral health products.

3. Prevention of rised blood sugar: Xylitol is absorbed and utilized by tissues in the absence of insulin affecting glucose metabolism. It is used as sweetener, nutritional supplement and adjuvant therapy for diabetics.

4. Improving liver function: Xylitol can promote hepatic glycogen synthesis, reduce the consumption of protein in fat and liver tissues, protect and repair the liver, improve liver function and lower fatty liver in patients with liver diseases. Xylitol has obvious curative effect in the treatment of persistent hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis. Therefore, it is also a deal adjuvant for Hepatitis complications patients.

5. Function of weight reduction : Xylitol has lower calorie compared with common sugar . The calorie is only 2.4 kilocalorie per gram of xylitol which is *0% less than most other carbohydrates, so xylitol can be used in a variety of weight loss foods, as a substitute for high calorie sugar.

6. Improve gastrointestinal function: xylitol can promote the proliferation of Bifidobacterium and beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract. With high activity of improving gastrointestinal function, xylitol is a promising functional additive factor.

7. Hygroscopicity: When used to make some soft dessert, it maintains longer softness than sucrose and prolongs the shelf life of food, such as making cakes, bread, etc. It can be used as a moisture regulator for cosmetics and has no irritating effect on human skin.

8. Enhance the taste: when eating xylitol, it will produce a pleasant cool feeling in the mouth and the effect is better after freezing. It has been widely used in refreshing cold drinks, desserts, milk, coffee and other industries. It can also be used in health drinks, throat lotion, cough syrup and so on. Furthermore, xylitol add flavor to peppermint, spearmint and other foods.

9. Extending the shelf-life of food: Xylitol is not fermented by yeast, so its a bad medium for microorganisms. Its sweetness is durable, so xylitol can extend shelf life of food.

*0. No "Maillard" browning reaction: Xylitol has no aldehyde and ketone groups in structure, it will produce no "Maillard" browning reaction when heated. So it can be made into baked foods with different flavors.

No.
