Product Description

Product Description

 

Xylitol, an exquisite organic compound known scientifically as pentapentol, mesmerizes with its intricate chemical composition, C5H12O5, and a refined molecular weight of 152.15. Allow us to unveil the captivating details of this extraordinary product:

• Properties: Behold the elegance of xylitol at ambient conditions-it presents itself as a pristine white crystalline powder, delivering a sweetness that mirrors that of sucrose. It greets your senses with a subtle fragrance, virtually odorless, yet enchanting. This remarkable compound melts gracefully at 92-96°C and boils with precision between 215-217°C, showcasing its versatility. It dissolves effortlessly in water, while also mingling with ethanol and pyridine solvents. With a substantial density of 1.515g/cm³ at 25°C and a delicate vapor pressure of 0.00247mmHg, xylitol is a marvel of nature. The pH of a 10% w/v aqueous solution lies between 5 and 7, and its pKa ranges from -3.0 to 12.76, illustrating its stability and resilience. Unlike sucrose at body temperature, xylitol possesses superior solubility, enhancing food preservation with its lower water activity. Xylitol's strength lies in its stable chemical properties, originating from hydrogenated xylose, free from hydroxyl groups. As a sugar substitute, it resists the Maillard reaction, avoiding non-enzymatic browning. Furthermore, it crafts sugar alcohol ester emulsifiers akin to Span and Tween with fatty acids, and forms glycosides with monosaccharides like xylose and glucose. Xylitol's potential reaches the extraordinary, reacting with nitric acid to create explosive nitroxylitol, and with borax to form chelating complexes that impact optical rotation and conductivity. It stands resilient, unfazed by most bacteria due to its non-fermentable nature.
• Source: The journey of xylitol commences in the serene landscapes of Finland, where it is harvested from natural plant materials such as birch, oak trees, corncobs, and bagasse. This enchanting sweetener is also discovered in an array of fruits, vegetables, and cereals. In commercial settings, xylitol is meticulously extracted from agricultural byproducts like corncobs and bagasse, undergoing deep processing to unveil its full potential. Remarkably, xylitol plays a role as an intermediate in normal human sugar metabolism, with blood naturally containing 0.03-0.06mg/100ml, even without dietary intake. Within the human body, it is gracefully formed through the decarboxylation of glucuronic acid, weaving seamlessly into the fabric of our physiological processes.
• Physiological functions: Xylitol, in its benevolent nature, participates harmoniously in human metabolism without eliciting insulin production or elevating blood sugar levels. It is elegantly oxidized into carbon dioxide and water, following the natural physiological pathways of carbohydrate decomposition. Approximately 85% of consumed xylitol transforms in the liver, while about 10% undergoes metabolism in the kidneys, with the remaining portion nurtured by blood cells, adrenal cortex, lungs, brain, and adipose tissues. Xylitol's fortitude lies in its resistance to decomposition by Streptococcus mutans, the notorious bacteria responsible for dental caries, hence safeguarding against acid production and dental decay. Moreover, it fosters the synthesis of liver glycogen, rendering it an invaluable ally for enhancing liver function and combating fatty liver diseases. Xylitol emerges as an ideal adjuvant treatment for chronic hepatitis B, liver cirrhosis, and related complications, even promoting the proliferation of intestinal probiotics like Bifidobacterium, thereby harmonizing liver function.
• SafetyThe median lethal dose (LD50) for mice via intraperitoneal injection is 10,000mg/kg, and for rats via oral administration, it stands at 6,500mg/kg. Xylitol powder may cause eye irritation; hence, it's imperative to wear safety goggles and implement dust-proof measures in production workshops. Unlike glucose and galactose, xylitol does not actively transport through the intestinal mucosa. Instead, it is mainly absorbed through passive or facilitated diffusion, resulting in a relatively slow absorption speed. While small doses of xylitol can be fully absorbed by the human body, doses exceeding 50 grams might not be completely absorbed. These unabsorbed xylitol residues accumulate in the colon, potentially leading to osmotic diarrhea.
• Application fields:
  • Food industryXylitol, with its remarkable properties such as preventing dental caries, excellent moisture absorption, a refreshing cool taste, and resistance to the Maillard browning reaction, finds widespread application in the food industry. It is a preferred choice in the production of chewing gum, chocolate, beverages, alcoholic beverages, candies, and as a sugar substitute. Xylitol-based sugar products offer sweetness comparable to conventional hard candy minus the crystallization issues associated with glucose syrup, enhancing the taste experience. Notably, there's no need for strong sweeteners like saccharin during production, resulting in candies with a cool taste and impressive storage performance that resists moisture absorption. Moreover, incorporating xylitol into sugar-free baked goods not only elevates their taste but also enhances their overall quality by reducing calorie content and preventing the Maillard reaction. As an additive in alcoholic beverages, xylitol remarkably boosts quality.
  • Medical fieldIn the medical realm, xylitol serves as a versatile excipient or sweetener for numerous pharmaceuticals, offering benefits such as cavity prevention, non-fermentability, and compatibility for diabetic patients. Medications like cough syrups, tonics, and vitamin tablets formulated with xylitol are resistant to fermentation and mold, significantly extending their shelf life. Xylitol is also integral in crafting xylitol injections and oral liquids for diabetic energy supplements and drugs for correcting metabolic abnormalities. It aids in enhancing sugar metabolism and eliminating ketosis without requiring insulin, making it a diabetes-friendly option. Furthermore, it helps moderate fatty acid production in plasma and acts as a liver-protecting agent, reducing transaminases and enhancing liver function.
  • Daily chemical fieldXylitol, akin to glycerin, offers excellent moisturizing and skin texture improvement properties. Its non-sticky, refreshing feel makes it a key ingredient in various skincare products and toothpaste, enhancing the user experience with its hydrating qualities.
  • Chemical fieldIn the chemical sector, xylitol is a valuable heat-resistant plasticizer ideal for crafting xylitol C5-C9 acid esters, utilized in producing soft plastic products. This plasticizer, well-suited for heat-resistant PVC applications, is extensively employed in shoe soles, agricultural films, synthetic leather, and cable materials. It also acts as an initiator in polyether preparation, a fundamental raw material for synthesizing rigid foam plastics, facilitating a simple manufacturing process with high yield. xylitol's characteristics as a pentapentol, possessing extra hydroxyl groups compared to glycerol, enable the production of diverse performance paint coatings. The green alkyd enamel enriched with xylitol showcases stability with minimal performance changes after a year of storage. Additionally, xylitol's reaction with nitric acid generates a nitro explosive with a detonation speed between nitroglycerin and TNT, noted for its stability and high safety in storage and transportation.
