Product Details
Xylitol aqueous solution features outstanding thermal stability, making it an ideal sweetener for diabetic-friendly health beverages. It is a permitted food sweetener complying with China GB2760‑1996.
It can replace glucose and fructose as an energy source for the human body and participates in nucleic acid synthesis and detoxification. Unlike glucose, xylitol metabolism does not require insulin. For diabetics with insufficient insulin secretion, it will not trigger blood sugar spikes. It also inhibits ketone body generation, helps reduce transaminase levels, supports liver function and promotes fat metabolism.
Its oral absorption varies greatly among individuals, affected by gut microbiota, gastric contents and genetic factors. Xylitol is almost fully metabolized in the human body, with little excreted intact in urine. Clinically, it supplies calories and fluids, improves carbohydrate metabolism and relieves ketonemia under insulin deficiency to help regulate abnormal glucose metabolism in diabetics.
At normal doses, it has little effect on liver and kidney function. Overconsumption, however, may cause osmotic diarrhea and fluid imbalance. The suggested daily intake is 50–70 g maximum.
Widely used in seasonings, beverages, jams, candies, cakes and more, xylitol cannot be readily fermented by yeast and bacteria. It acts as an anti‑caries sweetener and offers preservative effects.
