Xylitol is a naturally occurring pentose sugar alcohol with the chemical formula C5H12O5. It is widely found in fruits such as strawberries, vegetables like broccoli and mushrooms, as well as in plants like birch trees and corn husks. It is commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener in the food industry (its sweetness is comparable to that of sucrose, with approximately 60% of the calories of sucrose), and is widely used in sugar-free chewing gum, candies and other foods.
1.Food sector
Xylitol is used as a low-calorie sweetener (its sweetness is comparable to that of sucrose, with 60% of the calories being the same as those in sucrose), a coolant and a humectant. It is widely used in sugar-free chewing gum, candies, chocolate, baked goods, beverages and ice cream, providing a cooling sensation and maintaining the softness of the food.
