Imaherb Food Additives Xylitol With High Quality and Best Price

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener. used to denote sugar alcohols. 

Xylitol is categorized as a polyalcohol or sugar alcohol (alditol). It has the formula CH2OH(CHOH)3CH2OH and is an achiral isomer of pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol. 

Xylitol is roughly as sweet as sucrose (table sugar), with 33% fewer calories. Unlike other natural or synthetic sweeteners, xylitol is actively beneficial for dental health by reducing caries (cavities) to a third in regular use and helpful to remineralization.Multiple studies utilizing electron microscopy have indicated that xylitol is effective in inducing remineralization of deeper layers of demineralized enamel.

Fair evidence was found that xylitol (as chewing gum, lozenges, nasal spray, etc.) reduced the incidence of acute middle ear infection in healthy children.

Xylitol is naturally found in low concentrations in the fibers of many fruits and vegetables, and can be extracted from various berries, oats, and mushrooms, as well as fibrous material such as corn husks and sugar cane bagasse,and birch.

However, industrial production starts from xylan (a hemicellulose) extracted from hardwoods or corncobs, which is hydrolyzed into xylose and catalytically hydrogenated into xylitol. A study in rats found that xylitol had reduced or nonexistent side effects compared to other artificial sweeteners, and lower caloric value and cariogenicity than sucrose.

Function of Xylitol

1. Xylitol powder has effect on weight loss, glycuresis and pneumonia.
2. Xylitol powder can prevent decayed tooth and improve the immune ability of the body.
3. Xylitol powder can promote the action of the salutary germs and improve the immunity of body.
4. The cake making with xylitol powder can keep soft longer than making with the saccharose for its humectant.
5. Xylitol powder can absorb more calory than other polyols, so the food making with xylitol has a cool taste and keep the original food flavor.
