Characters: white crystalline powder, sweet as sucrose, easily dissolve in water, slightly dissolve in Ethanol & Methanol, melting point 92-96, boiling point 216 and caloric value same as sucrose 16.72kj/g. Absorb heat when dissolved and provide natural cooling sensation in mouth. 10% Aqueous solution pH value 5.0-7.0.
characteristic
1. Xylitol has no Aldehyde or Ketone radicel, no Maillard Browning reaction when get heating, is good to produce different bakery foods.
2. Xylitol can promote multiplication of Bafidobacterium and beneficial bacteria in the intestines, to improve gastrointestinal function, is a widely used functional additive by its high activity.
3. Xylitol is not fermented by yeast, can be the inert substrate for microbe, food containing Xylitol can prolong own shelf life.
4. Xylitol has moisture absorption character, so the refection added in Xylitol will last longer softness than being added the sucrose, always used in making cakes, breads and etc.
5. Xylitol's cooling sensation can enhance the taste of food with mint and spearmint.
GB2760-2007, Ministry of Health, approved that Xylitol is good to all food and can be used appropriately according to manufacture requirements.
Caution: Slower absorb in the intestines, not consume too much in one time. You may feel laxation threshold when you first eat according to different body constitution, and will recover soon after you adjust the dosage.
Xylitol anti-cariogenic characteristic
Xylitol has anti-caries function, can reduce the incidence of tooth decay when being chewed longer in the mouth. So Xylitol can be widely used in gums, chewing gum, confectionery, chocolate and other foods; and used widely in Japan in medical and cosmetic products, special chewing gums added in Xylitol as sweetener for dental patients; and sugar free gum takes more than 50% market of the whole gum market in Europe.
We believe the sugar free food will be more welcome and popular in the future along with the economic development and daily life improvement, and sugar free food will then be sure share more market.
Xxylitol can resist fermentation by oral bacteria in the mouth, reduce plaque formation, and can inspire the activity of protective saliva, slow the pH value descending and help reduce the development of cavities, while the salivary flow caused from sucrose can not balance the acid affected from Streptococcus mutant. After you consume Xylitol, the alkalescence aminophenol and ammonia value increase in the salivary flow and at the plaque of decayed tooth, pH value increase, and all make the 5 carbon phosphate deposit on the enamel to reform / harder the tooth. Xylitol can reduce 90% of acid formed from lactobacillus and Mutans Streptococci, and so prevent tooth from cavities and plaques.
Xylitol health-care and medical characteristics
1.Diabetes is considered as the 3rd killer after the AIDS, Cancer in the medical area, so called Sub-Cancer, and Xylitol is proven to be the treatment agent, nutrition agent and best sweetener for Diabetic. As Xylitol can provide an intermediate pathway for glucose conversion, when initial metabolism Xylitol doesnt need insulin (but can provoke the insulin excrete), can produce out phosphoric acid ribose through aldehydic acid Xylulose from glucose and aldehydic acid pentose, then comes out six-aldehydic acid glucose, and then further synthesis or oxygenation to get energy. Xylitol can adjust abnormal metabolism of glucose, when the patient lack of insulin, Xylitol can permeate the red blood cell membrane to help for the energy & nutrition utilization similar as the function of glucose and insulin. After consume Xylitol, patients will decrease the starvation, diabetes and related symptoms, and will cure after consume for a long period of time, to well restore the control of the diabetes complications.
2. Improve liver function. Xylitol can slower the fatty acid process from the blood plasma, but will not raise the blood sugar level. After absorbed by the body, the lactic acid, pyruvic acid and glucose amount will decrease but insulin increase, and meantime the glycogen will also increase in the liver and help to reduce the transaminase, to obtain a good treatment for Hepatitis B and Liver Cirrhosis patients. Xylitol can be an ideal treatment medicine to protect liver for Hepatitis patients, esp. patients who suffer both Hepatitis & Diabetes.
3. Anti-ketone function. Xylitol can also be an ideal anti-ketone treatment medicine for Diabetic and Starvation Type ketosis patients.
4. Xylitol can well control the anabolism of glycerin, neutral fat and free fatty acids, thus to control the weight increase and to cure adiposis.
5. Xylitol is good of its thermal stability, and will not cause chemical reaction when being heated together with amino acid, can be used with amino acid for different kinds of dosages to treat high blood sugar, hyperlipidemia, hepatitis patients, and also for sugar free purpose, the special transfusion medicine for oldness & weakness patients.
6. Xylitol is slower absorbed by intestine compared with other sugars, can be used as laxation medicine for oldness constipation without any suffering and side-effect.
Xylitol Specificity
Where can we use Xylitol
1. To produce gum, chewing gum, toffee, soft candy, jelly, chocolate, chewing tablet and etc, can cool the throat, clean the teeth and be anti-cariogenic.
2. Being instead of sucrose to add in soft drink, milk, bread, preserved fruit, biscuit, yoghurt, jam, porridge and etc, to keep longer & better sweet taste because of its non-fermentability by yeast.
3. Added in cosmetic product and toothpaste, no sticky feeling and refreshing. Xylitol can keep moisture and improve the rough skin similar as glycerin.
4. Being good substitute to sucrose, to make dishes like sour & sweet pork or fish, very safe to diabetics. Our suggestion is no more than 40g / day for adult and half for child.

Xylitol packing size and storage
Packing size: 1000kg/bag, 600kg/bag, 25kg/bag, 20kg/bag,500g/bag, 250g/bag, and other size according to your requirements.
Storage: Please keep in cool and dry place to prevent from moisture absorption and the sunlight, 24 months of normal shelf life.
    Safety & Storage: Xylitol is slowly absorbed from the intestinal tract. Over-intake at one time may cause light diarrhea. however it depends on personal health conditions, the diarrhea will disappear a short time later when intake amounts return to normal.
