Introductions: Pure xylitol is a white crystalline natural substance that looks and tastes like sugar. Xylitol\'\'s sweetness is equal to sugar, but it contains 40% fewer calories than sugar. Xylitol is recommended for diabetics, since it does not require insulin to be metabolized. Xylitol has been proven in clinical testing to dramatically reduce the incidence of cavities, plaque formation and kills the germs that cause bad breath. The positive effects of xylitol appear to long lasting and may possibly be permanent. Xylitol as the healthy sweetener is added into chewing gums, breath mints, toothpastes, confectionaries and soft drinks. Features: 1) No fermentation: xylitol is anti-cariogenic because xylitol can not be utilized by buccal cariogenic bacteria and thus prevent the growth of bacteria and acid 2) Solubility: xylitol is soluble in water. Xylitol gives a pleasant cool and fresh sensation as we eat it, owing to its character of high endothermic in solution. The sweetness of xylitol equals that of sucrose at normal temperature, which is 1.2 times of sucrose at lower temperatures. With maltose it equals the sweetness of sucrose when xylitol exceeds half of the amount (test based on 10% sucrose solution as reference) 3) Can stabilize blood glucose level: the metabolism of xylitol in human body does not involve insulin and will not cause blood glucose levels to rise. Xylitol has a nature of high heat-resistance and is passive to acid and alkali. It will not react on amino phenol and protein 4) Xylitol can absorb more heat than sorbitol in process of solution and give a pleasant cool and fresh sensation Applications: 1) Widely used in food and beverage industries: a) Because it can not be used by bacteria that may cause caries, the anticarious action of xylitol is better than those of fructose and cane sugar. It does not produce any acids in mouth cavity, therefore it may help the mouth cavity neutral and protect teeth from acidic erosion. In view of this, xylitol is used as a sweetener in anticarious foods and beverages in the world, such as chewing gums, chocolates and soft drinks which contains xylitol b) Renders a kind of freshness and sweet taste. When heated, it does not go Maillard browning reactions. It is stable in nature and can absorb moisture. And it can be fermented by yeasts. Due to these characteristics, it can be used as a sweetening ingredient for soft pastries, candies, chocolate foods and thus the shelf life is extended without being absorbed. It can be used to make alcoholic beverages more fragrant, mellow and softly sweet, and to reduce or inhibit biological degradation c) Used as a substitute for table sugar, so as to prevent the occurrence of adiposis and diabetes caused by excessive uptake of cane sugar. It can be used in food for diabetes patients. The daily dose is not more than 50g 2) Used as a sugar substitute for medical industry Inner packing: 25kg, 20kg , 500g, 250g/packet
