Product Description of Xylitol CAS#87-99-0
Xylitol is a thermally stable sweetener in aqueous solutions, making it an excellent choice for formulating health-conscious beverages, particularly those tailored for diabetic individuals. Approved for use under China's GB2760-1996 food regulations, it serves as a versatile sugar substitute, replacing glucose and fructose as an energy source while also playing a role in nucleic acid synthesis and detoxification processes.
Unlike glucose, xylitol metabolism is insulin-independent, ensuring it does not elevate blood sugar levels in diabetics. Additionally, it exhibits unique health benefits, including inhibition of ketone body formation, reduction of transaminase levels in liver disease patients, enhancement of liver function, and promotion of fat metabolism.
While oral absorption varies among individuals due to factors like intestinal bacteria, dietary contents, and genetics, xylitol is nearly fully metabolized in the body and minimally excreted in urine. Clinically, it is utilized to supplement calories and fluids, improve sugar metabolism, and address ketonemia during insulin deficiency, functioning as an effective regulator of abnormal diabetes-related metabolic pathways.
At standard doses, xylitol is safe for liver and kidney health, though excessive consumption may lead to osmotic diarrhea and water imbalance. Recommended daily intake should not exceed 50–70 grams. Its applications span condiments, beverages, jams, candies, and baked goods. Furthermore, its resistance to utilization by yeast and bacteria renders it a tooth-friendly sweetener with antiseptic properties, aiding in oral health protection.

Product Application of Xylitol CAS#87-99-0
Xylitol is a polyhydric alcohol and a natural sugar substitute, commercially produced through the hydrolysis of xylan-rich plants such as birch to extract xylose. With a sweetness level equivalent to sucrose, it dissolves rapidly in formulations and exhibits a negative heat of solution, imparting a refreshing cooling sensation. It provides 24 kcal per gram of energy.
Due to its favorable properties, xylitol is widely utilized in applications such as chewing gum, throat lozenges, and chocolate, offering a sweet taste without compromising product quality.
