Xylitol is a nature sweetener with nutritional value, and it is the sweetest of all kinds of purebreds. It is also a normal intermediate for human metabolism. In nature, xylitol is mainly found in vegetables and fruits. Most of the xylitol which is used in business mostly comes from corncob, bagasse and other raw materials,and it was obtained by deep processing.
Xylitol is a naturally occurring 5-carbon polyol sweetener. It is found in fruits and vegetables, and is even produced by the human body itself. It can absorb heat when dissolved in water, with moisture absorbing function, and transient diarrhea can be induced when excessively taken. The product can also treat constipation.
Xylitol is the sweetest of all the polyols. It is as sweet as sucrose, has no after-taste and is safe for diabetics. Xylitol has 40% less calories than sugar and, for this reason, a caloric value of 2.4 kcal/g is accepted for nutritional labelling in the EU and the USA.
In crystalline applications, it provides a pleasant, natural cooling effect, greater than that of any other polyol.
