Xylitol is a natural sugar-alcohol in plants, including many fruits and vegetables.  As a type of low-digestible carbohydrate that includes fiber, it  has a sweet taste, and is about 40 percent lower in calories than regular sugar, providing about 10 calories per teaspoon. (Sugar provides about 16 per teaspoon.) It has a similar appearance to sugar and can be used in the same ways. This is why xylitol is often used as sugar substitutes. Besides, xylitol doesn't contain any cane or table sugar, and it is available for diabetics.

Xylitol tastes sweet but unlike sugar, it doesn't cause tooth decay. It reduces decay-causing bacteria in saliva and acts against some bacteria that cause ear infections. It's widely used in "sugar-free" chewing gums, mints, ice cream production, chocolate, baked food production, table syrups, jams, jellies, cough syrup, some viatmins, nut butters, some supplements, nasal sprays, toothpastes, and mouthwashes, etc. Being an experienced solutions supplier and exporter for food and beverages manufacturers, Tianjiachem welcome any inquiries from all over the world.
