Xylitol is one of the most important functional sugar alcohols and a low calorie sweetener with various health benefits such as low calorie content, non cariogenic properties, low blood sugar elevation, and more. Xylitol can directly replace sucrose and is therefore favored by consumers and food processing companies.
Under the trend of "reducing sugar and controlling sugar", the development potential of Xylitol market in China is still relatively large. The total production of Xylitol in China has resumed growth, and the growth rate is gradually accelerating. In addition, in recent years, the supply of Xylitol in China's market has been sufficient, which can basically meet the domestic market demand, and there is also sufficient production for export.
Xylitol is a natural sweetener extracted from plant materials, mainly sourced from birch trees, corn cobs, and sugarcane bagasse. Xylitol is the sweetest sugar alcohol known. Its sweetness is equivalent to sucrose. It can be absorbed and utilized through the cell membrane without insulin promotion. Therefore, Xylitol is often used in the diet of diabetes patients and in sugar free or low sugar foods. Xylitol also has a wide range of applications in medical, daily chemical, and chemical industries.


The main advantages of Xylitol include low calorie, low glycemic index, prevention of dental caries, improvement of intestinal health, and multifunctional application. It is suitable for diabetes patients and healthy people as a sugar substitute.
Low calorie and sugar control properties
The caloric value of Xylitol is only 2.4 kcal/g (sucrose is 4 kcal/g), and the glycemic index (GI) is 7 (sucrose is 65). Metabolism is independent of insulin, which can help diabetes patients control blood sugar fluctuations.
Excellent anti caries effect
Oral bacteria cannot ferment Xylitol, so they do not produce acid that corrodes dental enamel. At the same time, they can inhibit cariogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, reducing the risk of dental caries by 20% -70%.
Intestinal health regulation
Moderate intake of Xylitol can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and improve constipation; But excessive (>50 grams/day) may cause diarrhea
