Xylitol
SINOBIO
2905499000
Xylitol (CAS No. 87-99-0) is a five-carbon sugar alcohol with a chemical formula of C₅H₁₂O₅ and a molecular weight of 152.15. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is as sweet as sucrose, but with lower calories and a milder effect on tooth decay. It is widely used in food, medicine, and industry. The following is a detailed introduction:
1. Appearance and Properties: White crystals or crystalline powder, odorless, with a refreshing sweet taste.
2. Solubility: Highly soluble in water (approximately 160g/100ml), slightly soluble in ethanol and methanol.
3. Melting and Boiling Points: Melting point 92-96°C, boiling point 216°C.
4. Thermal Effect: It absorbs heat upon dissolution, producing a cooling sensation, and has the highest heat absorption value of all sugar alcohols.
5. Stability: Chemically stable, heat-resistant, and not prone to decomposition.
1. Low Calories and Low Glycemic Index:
- The calories are only 60% of sucrose (about 2.4kcal/g), suitable for diabetics and those on a low-calorie diet.
- The glycemic index (GI) is 7, much lower than sucrose (65), and will not cause drastic fluctuations in blood sugar.
2. Anti-caries Effect:
- Oral bacteria cannot use xylitol to produce acid, reducing tooth enamel erosion.
- Promotes saliva secretion, neutralizes the acidic environment in the mouth, and inhibits the formation of dental plaque.

*Sweetener: A sucrose replacement for candy, chewing gum, beverages, baked goods, etc., offering enhanced taste at low temperatures (sweetness up to 1.2 times that of sucrose).
*Humectant: Extends the shelf life of foods and prevents drying and clumping.
*Sugar-free Products: Widely used as an anti-caries sweetener in children's foods and oral care products.
*Adjunctive Diabetes Treatment: A low-calorie sweetener to help control blood sugar and weight.
*Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used in the preparation of tablets, syrups, etc. to improve taste and stability.
*Nasal Spray: Utilizes its hygroscopic properties to relieve nasal dryness.
*Raw Organic Synthesis Materials: Used to produce surfactants, emulsifiers, demulsifiers, alkyd resins, coatings, varnishes, etc.
*Plasticizer: The ester formed with synthetic fatty acids is non-volatile and can be used in plastics processing.
*Glycerin Replacement: Used in papermaking, daily necessities, and the defense industry.

The advantages of Xylitol are primarily reflected in oral health, metabolic regulation, intestinal protection, food processing, and industrial applications. The following is a detailed summary of these advantages:
1. Anti-caries Effect:
*Xylitol cannot be fermented and utilized by oral bacteria, so it does not produce acidic substances that corrode tooth enamel, effectively preventing tooth decay.
*Xylitol promotes saliva secretion, neutralizes the acidic environment in the mouth, inhibits plaque formation, and reduces gingivitis.
*Chewing xylitol gum helps remove acid from the tooth surface and absorb calcium, strengthening tooth enamel.
2. Antibacterial Effect:
*Xylitol has an inhibitory effect on Streptococcus mutans (the main cariogenic bacteria), reducing the number of harmful bacteria in the mouth and reducing the risk of tooth decay.
*Xylitol also inhibits the production of acetaldehyde by Candida species, reducing their carcinogenicity.
1. Low Calories and Low Glycemic Index:
*Xylitol has only 60% of the calories of sucrose (about 2.4kcal/g), making it suitable for diabetics and people who need to control their calorie intake.
*Xylitol has a glycemic index (GI) of 7, which is much lower than sucrose (65). It does not cause drastic fluctuations in blood sugar and helps control blood sugar.
2. Weight Management:
*Xylitol's low calorie content makes it an ideal sweetener for weight loss, helping to reduce calorie intake.
1. Promotes the proliferation of beneficial bacteria:
Xylitol can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines, improve the balance of intestinal flora, and have a positive impact on intestinal health.
2. Relieve constipation:
Xylitol has a laxative effect, and moderate intake can help improve constipation symptoms.
1. Hygroscopicity and Moisturizing Properties:
*Xylitol is more hygroscopic than sucrose, maintaining food's softness and extending its shelf life.
*Xylitol is not fermented by yeast and is a poor culture medium for microorganisms. Its long-lasting sweetness can extend the shelf life of food.
2. Enhanced Taste:
*Xylitol leaves a slightly cooling sensation upon ingestion, enhancing the taste of food.
*Xylitol can also enhance the flavor of foods such as mint and spearmint.
1. Pharmaceuticals:
*Xylitol can be used in injections, lozenges, granules, oral solutions, granules, various calcium tablets, and other pharmaceutical applications.
*Xylitol also has potential anti-cancer activity, inducing cancer cell death by activating the autophagy signaling pathway.
2. Cosmetics:
Xylitol can be used as a moisturizing agent in cosmetics and is non-irritating to human skin. 3. Other Industrial Fields:
Xylitol can be used in industrial manufacturing fields such as batteries, precision castings, and surfactants.
