xylitol powder

Xylitol Introduction

Healthy Sweetener Xylitol is a natural plant-based sweetener (sugar substitute) commonly extracted from plants such as birch, corn cob, and sugarcane bagasse. It belongs to the sugar alcohol class and produces a cooling sensation in the mouth. Xylitol is difficult for bacteria in the mouth to break down into acidic substances, thus it is less likely to cause tooth decay. Therefore, it is commonly used in chewing gum, toothpaste, mouthwash, and candy.
 

The characteristics of Sweetener Xylitol are as follows:
 

Low-calorie food additive

Xylitol food additive is absorbed slowly or only partially utilized. Its low calorie content is a major characteristic: 2.4 calories per gram, 40% less than other carbohydrates. Natural xylitol has been used in food since the 1960s. In some countries, it is a popular sweetener among diabetics. In the United States, it can be added to food without dosage restrictions for certain specific purposes.

Caries Prevention

Xylitol powder is a caries-preventing sweetener that has been certified under various conditions over 25 years. Xylitol sweetener's caries-reducing properties are suitable for both high-risk groups (high incidence of caries, poor nutrition, poor oral hygiene) and low-risk groups (those who protect their teeth with all current dental care measures and have a low rate of cavities).

Sweeteners for Diabetics

Xylitol powder sweetener serves as a sweetener, nutritional supplement, and adjunctive treatment for diabetics: Xylitol is an intermediate in the body's carbohydrate metabolism. In the absence of insulin, which affects glucose metabolism, it does not require insulin to promote metabolism.

High-purity xylitol can also cross cell membranes and be absorbed and utilized by tissues, providing cells with nutrients and energy without causing a rise in blood sugar levels. It eliminates the three major symptoms (excessive hunger, excessive thirst, and excessive urination) experienced by diabetics, making it the most suitable nutritional sugar substitute for diabetic patients.

It can be widely used in food, medicine, light industry and other fields.
