Food and Food Additives
English name: xylitol
Molecular formula C5H12O5, melting point 92-96℃,
appearance white crystal granule or powder, with
sweet taste equivalent to sucrose, sugariness
105%-120%. The product can be easily dissolved
in water (160g/100ml), slightly soluble in ethanol
and methanol, boiling point 216℃, caloric power 16.72kj/g (equal to sucrose). It can absorb heat when
dissolved in water, with moisture absorbing function, and transient diarrhea can be induced when excessively
taken. The product can also treat constipation. GB13509-2005 quality standard should be implemented for
xylitol in food industry, and standard specified in China Pharmacopeia should be executed when xylitol is
applied as medicine.
There are also international standards, such as FAO/WHO standard and FCC standard. It is the
sweetener (applicable in various foods) of sugars and alcohols mostly and extensively applied in food and
drugs currently. With less pollution induced in production environment, moderate technical conditions and low
energy consumption, biologic xylitol is the non grain product promoted internationally, with pure quality, and it
can be used safely.
The product has less by product, low by product content, and it can be taken safely and reliably, with
heavy metal content lower than those in traditionally synthesized products.
Xylitol has an extensive applicable range. In addition to food sweetener, it can also be used as a drug, or
used in industry, for example, toothpaste, cosmetics, tobacco, plastic and storage battery.
