Recently, with the annual production capacity of 15,000 tons of xylitol project put into production, SQ Healtang has three main products: D-xylose, L-arabinose, and xylitol. The service area covers various fields such as food, medicine, feed, and the chemical industry. SQ Group's biomass comprehensive utilization industry chain is also further extended and improved.
The raw materials of SQ Healtang series functional sugar products are mainly corn cobs and straw. It is a comprehensive utilization project of crop straw, which is an industrialization project encouraged by the state. Relying on the construction of SQ Group's biomass integration project, Healtang makes comprehensive use of hemicellulose in plant straw to produce food-grade L-arabinose and D-xylose, and further uses D-xylose to produce food-grade xylitol, giving full play to the advantages of SQ Group's comprehensive utilization of the whole industrial chain of biomass.
Xylitol is found in various fruits, vegetables, and cereals, but at very low levels. Xylitol is a white crystalline or crystalline powder with a sweetness comparable to that of sucrose. It has about 60% of the caloric value of sucrose, with an energy label of 10 kJ/g.
Xylitol is very soluble in water, 168g can be dissolved in 100ml of water at 20℃, and slightly soluble in ethanol. When dissolved in water, it can absorb a lot of heat and produce a refreshing feeling when consumed. It does not undergo the reaction of Merad and caramelization.
Xylitol has been widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries because of its excellent properties. The most important use in the food processing industry is chewing gum, which can quickly provide sweetness, a cooling sensation effect and prevent dental caries, and is also an important sugar substitute product.
In recent years, with people's concern for health and increasing consumer awareness, after more than ten years of precipitation and accumulation, Healtang L-arabinose series of health foods are increasingly able to match the consumption habits and needs of young people today. The recognition and fame of L-arabinose as a new food ingredient is also gradually increasing. The presence of Healtang L-arabinose can now be found in the ingredient list of many end-use foods. With the successful start of the xylitol project, Healtang has added a new element and selling point to its products while providing product solutions to its customers.
