Basic facts on xylitol :
Xylitol is extracted from xylose plus hydrogen and is divided into xylitol liquid and xylitol crystal. Xylitol is classified broadly as a carbohydrate and more narrowly as a polyol. Its molecular formula is C5H10O5 and its molecular weight is 150.15. Xylitol is the normal product of the metabolism of xylose.
Xylitol is a white crystalline substance and it is easy to be melted in the water (solubility: 160g/100ml) Xylitol is widely distributed throughout nature in small amounts. Some of the best sources are fruits, vegetables, cereal crops, mushrooms lettuce, hardwoods, rice straw and corn cobs. It can be used as sweetener, nutrition and medicament in chemical, food and pharmaceutical and many other industries.

Why use xylitol :
The 5-carbon sugar xylitol was discovered by Fisher and Stahe in Germany around 1891 and it was not put into use as an important medical ingredient until 50 years later.

1． Calorie supplement: Xylitol produces the same amount of calories as glucose and can be used as calorie supplement nutrition clinically.

2． Sugar metabolism improvement: Without the help of insulin, metabolism of xylitol goes directly through cell membrane without the increase of the blood sugar density. It tastes just like glucose and boosts secrete of insulin so that it can be used as the substitute for the sugar for diabetics.

3． Ketone body producing prevention: Xylitol can decrease the producing of blood plasma fatty acid. Therefore it can be used as the medicine for diabetes and anaesthesia during the operation for diabetic ketoacidosis.

4． Tooth decay prevention: Xylitol can prevent the bacteria causing tooth decay from growing thus it can prevent tooth decay effectively.

5． Body weight control: Xylitol can cure obesity with its function of preventing glycerol, neutral fat and free fatty acids from synthetising.

6.    Adrenaline boost: Xylitol is very steady and no chemical reaction will occur even when xylitol is heated together with amino acid. It can be mixed with amino acid to make different medical preparation. Xylitol is also beneficial to the elderly and the weak because it is able to boost secrete of gastric juice and adrenaline, increase activity of pancreas and bile duct and NADPH2 ATP.

7.   Constipation treatment: Xylitol is absorbed more slowly by intestine than other carbon hydrate. It can be used as mild purgative for elderly constipation without any pain and or side effect.

Xylitol liquid not only has the same function and effect as xylitol crystal but also it is more economical so that our customers can reduce the cost dramatically and increase the profit. To achieve all this, it is necessary to adjust the original technological process and formula. We are willing to provide all the related technical services for free.
