xylitol,China price supplier

1. Structurally, xylitol has no aldehyde group and ketone group, so it will not produce “Maillard” browning reaction while heating and may be made into bakery food of different flavors.
2. Xylitol is capable of promoting proliferation of bifidobacterium as well as beneficial flora in intestinal tract and improving gastrointestinal function; with high activity, it is a promising functional additive.
3. As xylitol can hardly be fermented by yeast, it is a poor medium for microorganisms.
4. Cool feeling of xylitol can increase flavor of mint, spearmint and other food.
5. As provided in GB2760 that, xylitol is applicable for various foods, and may be added appropriately according to production needs.

Xylitol is capable of inhibiting corrosion. Long-term retention of xylitol in mouth can effectively prevent tooth decay. According to such a characteristic, xylitol is extensively applied in gum confection, chewing gum, candy and chocolate, etc.; in Japan, xylitol is broadly applied in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and the gum confections which take xylitol as their sweetener are specially designed for dental patients.
Xylitol can hardly be fermented by mutant of oral streptococcus S to harmful dental plaque acid, thus restricting growth of dental plaques and production of acids, stimulating flow of protective salivary juice, changing composition of salivary juice, lowering reduction of pH, and mitigating tooth corrosion by dental plaque acid, while the sucrose promotes salivary juice secretion is not enough to offset effect of acid produced by streptococcus mutant. After eating xylitol, concentration of basic amino acids and amino in salivary juice and decayed tooth plaque, as well as pH value increases, which enables xylitol-5-phosphate to redeposit on enamel to get tooth hard again, thus repairing damaged enamel. Xylitol is capable of inhibiting bacterium proliferation and acid production, reducing acid products of lactic acid bacterium and streptococcus mutant by 90%, lowering aliphatic phosphate on which bacterium in salivary juice and dental plaques depends, and restricting absorption of bacterium on tooth surface, thus reducing quantity of dental plaques.

Xylitol pharmaceuticals are the therapeutic agent, nutritional agent and the best sweetener of diabetics. As the third most powerful “killer” following AIDS and caner, diabetes enlisted by the medical circle, diabetes is also known as “sub-cancer”. Result of the resident census carried out by Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine (CAPM) on over 40,000 20-74-year-old residents in 11 provinces (municipalities) nationwide shows that, incidence of diabetes is 3.12%; persons with impaired glucose tolerance account for 4.76%; and there are 50,000,000 – 60,000,000 persons in total who suffer from diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance in China, among whom, less than 5% patients are fallen into the scope of Type I, which mostly happens to children and young people and occurs acutely due to serious lack of insulin in body; and over 95% patients are fallen into the scope of Type II, which mostly happens to the elder and easily causes ignorance and missed diagnosis due to its mild occurrence. It is not afraid of suffering from diabetes, but of the complications arising therefrom, such as acute complications, mainly including ketoacidosis, high osmosis coma and lactic acidosis, and chronic complications, mainly including cardiovascular, retina, kidney and neuropathy. Complications not only bring pains to patients, but also danger their’ life in case of seriousness. Xylitol is an ideal medicine for diabetes treatment, and also an ideal sweet food for people with abnormal glucose metabolism.

I. Properties
Xylitol, as one of pentose alcohol (also known as xylitol), is white crystal or crystalline powder which is odorless and tastes cool, with a sweetness equivalent to that of sucrose, and a calorific value equivalent to that of glucose.

II. Applied in pharmaceutical and healthcare industries as therapeutic and preventive agents
1. As therapeutic agent of diabetics: as carbohydrate metabolism intermediate, xylitol produces ribose phosphate through glucuronic acid-xylulose and osphopentose branch by means of its own unique metabolic pathway without promotion of insulin, which is capable of promoting pancreas to secrete insulin, thus producing glucose 6-phosphate and further synthesizing hepatic starch or further oxidative metabolism to obtain energy. Xylitol is capable of adjusting glucose metabolism abnormity. When body of a patient body is lack of insulin, xylitol is capable of penetrating cell membrane as usual to supply cells with nutrition and energy, thus playing the role of glucose and insulin. After taking the product, “three-excessive” symptom of a patient will be mitigated, thirst and hunger disappears basically, and glucose in urine reduces. After taking the product for a long time, symptom will disappear, thus effectively controlling occurrence of diabetes complications.
2. Improving liver function: xylitol is capable of lowering down the speed of fatty acid production in plasma, without increasing blood glucose. After absorbed by human body, content of lactic acid, pyruvic acid and glucose in blood will decrease, while insulin increases. Meanwhile, hepatic glycogen in liver increases, and aminotransferase decreases. It has noticeable effect on metastatic hepatitis B and cirrhosis patients. It is a liver protective medicine for hepatitis patients. Especially for patients of diabetes and hepatitis complications, xylitol is the most ideal medicine.
3. Anti-ketone: xylitol is an ideal anti-ketone drug for diabetes and hunger ketosis patients.

III. Other medical functions of xylitol
1. With the function of controlling synthesis of glycerol, neutral fat and free fatty acid, xylitol may be used to control weight increase and treat obesity.
2. Xylitol has sound thermal stability and does not produce chemical reaction when heated together with amino acids. It may be used to prepare various agents with amino acids, and applicable for special infusion agent of high blood glucose, high cholesterol, hepatitis and sugar-avoiding patients and patients stricken in years.
3. As xylitol is much slower absorbed by intestinal wall than other sugars, it may be used as laxative for age-related constipation, without any pain and side effect.

(1) Xylitol does not produce “Maillard” browning reaction when heated
Sucrose will have Maillard reaction with amino acid during food processing and heating, which is an unfavorable factor for most food processing. However, xylitol is structurally free from any aldehyde group or ketone group, so it does not produce any Maillard browning reaction when heated and may be made into bakery food of different flavors.

(2) As xylitol can hardly be fermented by yeast, it is a poor medium for microorganisms
Thanks for this feature of xylitol, shelf life of food made of it may be extended. For example, consumers wish to add less sugar in some jams, but jams with less sugar easily get bad in their shelf period, especially after opened. If preparing jams with xylitol in place of sucrose, such jams will enjoy a long shelf life without adding any artificial preservative.

(3) Xylitol has hygroscopicity
As xylitol has hygroscopicity, when it is used to make some soft snacks such as cake and bread, softness of such snacks will be maintained longer than those use sucrose.

(4) Cool feeling of xylitol
Solution heat of xylitol is nearly 10 times more than that of sucrose. That is, when xylitol dissolves, it absorbs a great deal of heat to enable a low temperature of medium. Therefore, when xylitol is added into various delicious foods, such foods will taste cool. It can strengthen flavor of mint, spearmint and etc.

1. It may be used in chewing gum, gum confection, Toffee, soft sweets, jellies, chocolates and buccal tablets, with the functions of throat-soothing, tooth-cleaning and tooth decay prevention.
2. With non-fermentation, it may replace sucrose to be applied in drinks, milk, bread, preserved fruit, biscuits, yogurt, jams and rice puddings to strengthen their good taste and lasting sweetness.
3. Xylitol is capable of moisturizing and improving rough skin exactly like glycerin, and makes people feel fresh and cool rather than tacky when applied. Therefore, it may be used in various skin care products and toothpastes.
4. Xylitol can provide ideal sugar substitutes for diabetics. Juices, drinks, coffee, milk, ice cream, bread and candy may use xylitol in replace of sucrose, and xylitol may also take replace of sucrose when cooking sweet and source spare ribs, sweet and sour fish, etc. In a word, diabetics may use xylitol just like normal people use sucrose. However, daily total dosage should preferably not exceed 40g for adults, and such a quantity should be halved for children.

Packaging specification: 1,000kg/bag, 600kg/bag, 25kg/bag and 1,000k/bag are available. Xylitol may also be packaged according to users’ need. ???
Note: as xylitol is slowly absorbed in intestinal tract, if too much xylitol is taken at a time, light diarrhea may occur according to different body constitution. However, such diarrhea will disappear automatically after dosage adjustment. As the product absorbs moisture easily, it should be kept in a cool and dry place.
Storage: It should be stored in a dry and ventilated environment, kept away from moisture and sunlight;
