About Xylitol

Xylitol is a white crystal with an appearance and taste similar to that of sucrose. It is the sweetest and most refreshing of the polyol sweeteners, with a sweetness equivalent to sucrose and the calories of xylitol equivalent to those of glucose. It is the sweetener of the future, a replacement for sucrose and glucose. In terms of food grade, there is a broad and narrow definition of xylitol. Broadly defined as carbohydrates and narrowly defined as polyols. This is because xylitol is slowly absorbed or only partially used. The low calorie content is the main characteristic of xylitol: 2.4 calories per gram, which is 40% lower than other carbohydrates. e967i's use with food started in the 1960s. Xylitol is popular in some countries and is welcomed as a sweetener for diabetes. It can be used as a food additive and is not limited by the amount of food added. Xylitol is the best sweetener for the prevention of dental caries (a feature that first became known to us with E967i) and has been certified in various contexts over a period of 25 years. e967i has been officially approved by six national dental associations as the main sweetener for chewing gum and confectionery.

Xylitol's functions.

As a sweetener, nutritional supplement and therapeutic aid for diabetes. Xylitol is an intermediate substance in the body's carbohydrate metabolism, in the absence of the body affects glucose metabolism, E967i can also be absorbed and used by tissues through cell membranes to promote glycogen synthesis and provide nutrients and energy to cells, and E967i does not cause a rise in blood glucose and eliminate the three symptoms of diabetes after taking it (polyphagia, polydipsia and polyuria), xylitol is the most suitable for diabetic patients A nutritional and sugar substitute.

Improves liver function.

Xylitol promotes glycogen synthesis without an increase in glucose, improves liver function and anti-fatty liver in patients with liver disease, is effective in the treatment of intractable hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis, and is an ideal adjunct for patients with concurrent hepatitis.

Anti-caries function.

The anti-caries property is the best among all sweeteners. Firstly, E967i can produce dental caries without fermentation by oral bacteria and inhibits the growth and acid production of streptococci. Secondly, when chewing E967i, it can stimulate saliva secretion, rinse the mouth when saliva is abundant, increase the concentration of basic amino acids and ammonia at saliva and caries, destroy teeth and dilute acid while slowing down oral PH, thus reducing tooth decay, preventing dental caries, reducing plaque production and consolidating teeth.

The weight loss function of xylitol.

Xylitol provides energy to the body, synthesises glycogen, reduces fat and liver tissue protein consumption, protects and repairs the liver, xylitol is harmful to the body, reduces the production of ketone bodies and does not bother about fat consumption. Xylitol can be widely used in food, medicine, light industry and other fields. Xylitol has the advantage of being low in calories compared to regular white sugar - at only 2.4 calories per gram, xylitol contains 40% fewer calories than most other carbohydrates, making it available in a variety of diet foods as a high-calorie sugar substitute.
