Ingredient Information: Xylitol is a sugar alcohol (polyol) naturally found in small amounts in fruits and vegetables like berries and corn husks, industrially produced by hydrogenating xylose from hardwood (e.g., birch) or corn cob hemicellulose. Composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, it matches sucrose’s sweetness (1:1) with 2.4 kcal/g, absorbed slowly (40% less caloric impact than sugar) and metabolized independently of insulin. It is processed into a stable, water-soluble powder or granules (solubility 100 g/100 mL at 20°C), recognized as GRAS by the FDA and assigned E967 in the EU.

Uses: Widely used in food as a sugar substitute in sugar-free gums, candies, and mints, preventing tooth decay (non-cariogenic) by inhibiting Streptococcus mutans growth, with clinical studies showing up to 80% caries reduction at 6-10 g/day. It is also employed in pharmaceuticals like syrups and lozenges for its cooling sensation and stability, and in cosmetics as a humectant in toothpaste and skincare.
