Overview of Xylitol
Xylitol is a naturally derived sugar alcohol widely used as a low-calorie sweetener and functional ingredient in food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. It offers sweetness similar to sugar but with fewer calories and a lower impact on blood glucose levels. Because of this, Xylitol is commonly preferred in sugar-free and diabetic-friendly formulations.
Xylitol is typically supplied as a white crystalline powder with good solubility and a clean, cooling taste. It is often used along with ingredients such as Sorbitol, Mannitol, Erythritol, Sucralose, and Stevia to improve the sweetness profile, texture, and stability in various formulations.
