Description

Description générale

Xylitol is a naturally occurring five carbon sugar alcohol, equivalent to sucrose in sweetness. Xylitol finds applications in the preparation of confectionaries, chewing gum, toothpaste and mouthwashes. Xylitol is a low-energy sweetener with insulin independent metabolism, making it a promising alternative for sugar in diabetic patients. Xylitol is a natural anticaries agent used in the treatment of dental caries, as it is not utilized by cariogenic bacteria creates a starvation effect on them. Xylitol prevents otitis and upper respiratory tract infections. Commercially, microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and yeasts produce xylitol by fermentation.

Application

Xylitol has been used:

• as a standard for high performance liquid chromatography
• in analysing antibacterial activity on oral biofilms
• for thermodynamic data and densities measurement

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

A sugar alcohol sweetener detectable by humans. Produced from hemicellulose hydrolysate fermentation.
