Xylitol Usage and Synthesis:

Xylitol is a monosaccharide compound that is obtained from the hydrolysis of plant fiber materials. It is a sweetener extracted from birch, oak, corn cob, bagasse, etc. Xylitol has a wide distribution in nature and is naturally found in bananas, strawberries, carrots, prunes, onions, lettuce, cauliflower, spinach, and mushrooms. It is widely found in a variety of fruits, vegetables, and cereals, but at very low levels. Commercial xylitol is made from corn cobs, bagasse and other agricultural crops for further processing, and is a natural and healthy sweetener for people's bodies, and xylitol is not an "exotic" product, it is an organic intermediate for normal sugar metabolism in people's bodies.

Pharmacokinetics of Xylitol:

Odorless. Taste sweet and cool, easily soluble in water and ethanol, slightly soluble in methanol. Its sweetness and caloric value are similar to those of sucrose, and it is an excellent sugar substitute for patients who have abstained from eating sucrose. It has hygroscopicity. Relative molecular mass 152.15. The aqueous solution of xylitol has good stability to heat, and is an ideal sweetener for making health drinks suitable for diabetic patients. It can replace glucose and fructose as the body's energy source, and is also an important substance for synthesizing nucleic acid and detoxification in the body. Because of insufficient insulin secretion in diabetic patients, glucose cannot be converted into 6 Glucose 6-phosphate, and xylitol metabolism is not related to insulin, so it does not increase the blood sugar value of diabetic patients. Xylitol also has the special function of inhibiting the production of ketone bodies. It can reduce transaminases in patients with liver disease, enhance liver function and promote fat metabolism. The oral absorption of this product varies greatly among individuals and may be related to intestinal bacteria, contents, and genetic factors.

Clinical Application of Xylitol:

Xylitol does not require insulin for metabolism in the body and does not raise blood glucose values. Therefore, it is a safe sweetener, nutritional supplement and auxiliary therapeutic agent for diabetic patients. It is widely used in medicine, food, national defense, chemical industry, etc. Xylitol and amino acids, proteins, etc. also Xylitol and amino acids, proteins, etc. do not produce the Melard browning reaction, so it is often used as baked food surface sweetener; because of the chelating effect, and is not subject to the role of yeast and lactic acid bacteria, has the function of preventing and controlling dental caries Xylitol crystals absorb heat when dissolved, making the mouth feel cool, so it is often used as an ingredient of chewing gum; medicine is used for infusion; it can also be used in tanning and national defense.
