D-xylose
A natural sugar used to create a savoury flavour
D-xylose, commonly known as xylose, is a natural 5-carbon sugar (pentose) obtained from xylan-rich parts of hardwoods such as birch.
D-xylose is used to improve flavour and also helps to produce visually appealing browning in savoury applications. Compared to other reducing sugars commonly used, D-xylose requires considerably less reaction time to produce the desired flavour.
D-Xylose is a sugar found in nature and isolated from wood pulp. In everyday applications, this sugar is widely used as a diabetic sweetener. In the scientific field it is used as a highly active sugar in savoury reactions, such as the Merad reaction.
D-xylose is a monosaccharide pentose obtained from xylan-rich trees such as birch. It is also commonly referred to as xylose. When the aldehyde group is free, it is a reducing sugar and will be involved in the Merade reaction. Xylose is a natural 5-carbon sugar that reacts with amino acids to produce other flavours in the brad reaction. d-Xylose can be used to improve the flavour and help the brad reaction to produce brown colour.
Xylose is the main component of hemicellulose xylan, which is common in many plants.
Healtang D-Xylose is a pure crystalline powder available in a wide range of high purity grades and flavours. It is used in meat, prepared foods, pharmaceuticals, pet food and animal feed.

Reaction of D-Xylose
D-xylose will undergo a melad reaction at lower temperatures and can be used to produce meat flavours when reacted with cysteine and glycine for food products.
D-Xylose is a white crystalline powder that is readily soluble in water. Also soluble in water, xylose is supplied in liquid form. As a sugar, it is sweet and has similar characteristics to glucose. It is excellent for producing meaty flavours when reacting with amino acids in the Merad reaction. Xylose requires less temperature and time to produce the following flavours.
Roast beef
Roast pork, chicken
Roasted
Potatoes
and other baked or roasted flavours.
Xylose is also further processed into xylitol, which is added to some chewing gums.
Application
D-(+)-Xylose has been used:
as one of the component to stimulate microbial activity
for the enhancement of biofilm formation
as a part of biochemical tests for the identification of B. cereus group
for substrate screening characterization
How we can help
Clean labels
D-xylose is a naturally occurring pentose sugar that is found in low levels in a wide range of fruits and vegetables. It is classified as a general food (or feed) ingredient rather than a food additive.
Better nutrition
The ingested portion of D-xylose is absorbed only in the intestine and therefore has a much lower impact on blood sugar and serum insulin levels than glucose or sucrose. This makes it an important ingredient in diabetic foods.
Plant-based
Healtang D-Xylose is naturally derived from wood.
Sustainability
The production of xylose is unique to Healtang and uses pulp and paper mill by-products as raw materials. On average, it emits five times less greenhouse gases than conventional corn cob products and supports at least three of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Regulation
Since the 1950s, D-xylose has been used in food applications worldwide for its merad-reactive flavour and colour, and as a sweetener in diabetic foods. The Flavour and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) generally considers the use of D-xylose in savoury systems to be safe (GRAS).
