A functional sweetener extracted from corn cobs
Heating does not cause Maillard Browning reaction
Prevention of dental caries. Maintain stable blood sugar
Oral products for preventing tooth decay (chewing gum), low-sugar foods (baked goods, candies), and meal replacements for diabetes
Xylitol is a functional sweetener, usually extracted from corn cobs. It has a sweetness comparable to sucrose and a cool taste. Xylitol is not metabolized by cariogenic bacteria in the oral cavity, so it does not produce acid to corrode teeth. It has a significant anti-caries effect and is widely used in sugar-free chewing gum. Its blood glucose response is much lower than that of sucrose, making it suitable for diabetics and people on a low-sugar diet. Xylitol also has good thermal stability and can be used in baking, candies, and meal replacement foods for diabetics, among other things.
