Xylitol

Ingredients and Appearance:

This natural polyol sweetener is made from plant fibers such as corn cobs and sugarcane bagasse through hydrolysis, hydrogenation, and refining processes. No sugars such as sucrose and glucose are added during the production process. It appears as a white crystalline powder or granules, is odorless, and has a refreshing sweetness (sweetness close to that of sucrose), with a pure taste and no aftertaste.

Basic Properties:

It is low in calories (approximately 2.4 kcal per gram), highly water-soluble (easily soluble in water, with solubility increasing with temperature), has no added sugar, and remains stable in high temperatures, acidic and alkaline environments, and under high shear. It is suitable for processing various sugar-free or low-sugar products, including sugar-free candies, sugar-free beverages, and sugar-free baked goods. As a natural functional sweetener, it has multiple benefits, including not raising blood sugar, preventing tooth decay, and being compatible with sugar-controlled diets. It is widely used in health foods. Functional Characteristics:

· Excellent processing stability: Resistant to heat, acid, and alkali, it resists decomposition during high-temperature processes like baking and sterilization. Its excellent crystallinity makes it suitable for processing a variety of solid and liquid products, including candies and biscuits, and its stability surpasses that of most sweeteners.
· Flavor-friendly and adaptable: It offers excellent compatibility with ingredients such as water, juice, and dairy products. It eliminates the cloying sweetness of added sugars. Its refreshing sweetness enhances product palatability and can mask the bitterness of some ingredients, enhancing the flavor of sugar-free products.
· Sugar-free and low-calorie, suitable for those seeking glucose control: With zero added sugar, its metabolism is not dependent on insulin, and it does not raise blood sugar levels. It is suitable for long-term consumption by diabetics, those trying to lose weight, and those trying to control their blood sugar levels. A daily intake of no more than 50 grams does not pose a risk of gastrointestinal discomfort (overconsumption may cause mild diarrhea).
· Aids in glucose control, suitable for specific groups: As an ideal alternative to sucrose, it offers a sweetness close to that of sucrose without affecting blood sugar fluctuations, helping to reduce refined sugar intake and aid blood sugar management. · Anti-caries benefits, protecting oral health: Unavailable to cariogenic bacteria in the mouth, it inhibits bacterial acid production and reduces plaque formation. It is widely used in oral care products such as chewing gum and toothpaste, and is a recognized anti-caries sweetener.
· Natural and safe, suitable for diverse applications: Found naturally in fruits (such as strawberries and pears) and vegetables (such as pumpkin and spinach), it is highly safe and can be used in specialized applications such as infant food and health supplements, aligning with the natural and healthy consumer trend.
· Applications:
· Sugar-free candies and snacks:
Sugar-free hard candies, soft candies, and chocolates replace sucrose to achieve sugar-free formulations, maintaining sweetness while reducing calories.
· Sugar-free chewing gum leverages its anti-caries properties to prolong the refreshing taste of chewing.
· Sugar-free beverages:
Sugar-free juices, plant-based protein beverages, and sparkling water provide a refreshing sweetness without affecting beverage clarity, making them suitable for low-sugar recipes.
· Sugar-free baked goods:
Sugar-free breads, biscuits, and pastries replace sucrose to improve texture and extend shelf life. Sugar-free dairy products:
Sugar-free yogurt, low-fat milk, and milkshakes enhance sweetness without affecting dairy fermentation, meeting the demand for healthy dairy products.
Health products and specialty foods:
Sugar-free nutritional oral solutions and infant foods provide natural sweetness without adding metabolic burden.
Oral care products:
Toothpaste and mouthwash utilize their anti-caries properties to help maintain oral health.
Feed:
Sugar-free pet food and animal health products enhance palatability and meet pets’ low-sugar diet needs. Functions:
