What is Xylitol Powder?
Xylitol is a naturally occurring pentose sugar alcohol with the chemical formula C₅H₁₂O₅. It is widely found in fruits (such as strawberries and plums), vegetables (such as cauliflower), and plants such as birch and corncobs. It can be produced by hydrolyzing plant fibers and then reducing them with hydrogen. As a sugar substitute, xylitol has a sweetness comparable to sucrose (approximately 1:1), but is lower in calories (2.4 kcal/g) and has a distinctive refreshing taste.
As a multifunctional natural sweetener, xylitol has been applied in numerous fields: in the food industry, it is the core sweetener in sugar-free chewing gum, candy, and beverages; in the pharmaceutical field, its low glycemic index is used to develop foods specifically for diabetes; in the daily chemical industry, its anti-caries properties are incorporated into oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash; and in industrial applications, xylitol is used as a raw material to synthesize plasticizers and environmentally friendly surfactants.
Feature
Caries Prevention and Oral Health:Xylitol cannot be fermented and utilized by cariogenic bacteria in the mouth. Its presence also inhibits bacterial acid production and adhesion, reducing plaque formation and promoting enamel remineralization. Long-term use can significantly reduce the risk of cavities.
Stable Blood Sugar and Low Calories:Xylitol metabolism is insulin-independent, absorption is slow, and its impact on blood sugar is minimal, making it suitable for diabetics. Its calories are 40% lower than sucrose, making it suitable for weight management.
Prevention of Otitis Media and Respiratory Infections:Xylitol can inhibit the colonization of pathogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae in the nasopharynx, reducing the incidence of acute otitis media and respiratory infections in children. It is commonly used in chewable tablets or sprays.
Moisturizing and Processing Stability:It has strong hygroscopic properties, maintaining the soft texture of food; it is acid and heat resistant, suitable for baking, confectionery, and other processing methods; its endothermic dissolution properties give products a refreshing taste.
Applications
Sugar-Free Foods and Oral Care Products: Used as a core sweetener in sugar-free chewing gum, candy, chocolate, and beverages, highlighting the "anti-cavity" health claim. Added to toothpaste, mouthwash, and oral sprays to enhance dental health.
Diabetes-Specific Foods and Nutritional Supplements: Used in baked goods, sauces, and nutritional supplements specifically for diabetics, providing a safe sweetness option. Used as a low-calorie sweetener in weight management meal replacement products.
Pharmaceuticals and Children's Health Products: Formulated into chewable tablets or lozenges for the prevention of otitis media and as an adjunct to respiratory infections in children. Used as a tablet taste mask to improve medication adherence in children and the elderly.
Industrial and Specialty Applications: Used as a humectant in cosmetics, paper products, and tobacco processing. As a stabilizing ingredient in vaccine freeze-drying protectants to protect biological activity. Used as a feed additive to improve the gut health of livestock and poultry.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
