D-Xylose Powder

D-xylose is a five carbon sugar with the chemical formula C5H10O5. Colorless to white crystalline or white crystalline powder, with a slight distinctive odor and refreshing sweetness. The sweetness is about 40% of sucrose. It exhibits right-handed and variable optical rotation, is easily soluble in hot ethanol and pyrimidine, and has a sweetness of 67% of sucrose. Xylose and glucose have similar chemical properties and can be reduced to corresponding alcohols, such as xylitol, or oxidized to 3-hydroxyglutaric acid.

D-xylose has been widely used in many fields. First, as a calorie free sweetener, it is particularly suitable for obese and diabetes patients. It can also be used as a fat oxidation inhibitor, to make soy sauce raw materials, and to add unique flavor to pork and other foods through Maillard reaction.

Xylose also has a positive effect on human health, as it can significantly promote the growth of bifidobacteria in the intestine, improve the microbial environment, and enhance immunity. Adding a small amount of xylose to food can significantly enhance its health value. Meanwhile, the combination of xylose and calcium can enhance the absorption and retention of calcium in the human body, which helps prevent constipation.

In addition to these, D-xylose can also be used to produce xylitol, which is an important industrial raw material. In the spice and pet feed industry, its flavor enhancing effect is significant, adding flavor to products. In food processing, due to its ability to trigger the Maillard reaction, xylose is often used to make food seasonings, adding a tempting golden brown color to foods such as butter and bread.

In addition, D-xylose plays an indispensable role as a pharmaceutical raw material and intermediate in the field of medicine. It also plays an important role in the preparation of essence and flavor, providing basic ingredients for various aroma products.

1) D-xylose is difficult to be broken down by the human digestive enzyme system, and saliva, gastric juice, pancreatic juice, and small intestine fluid can hardly break down D-xylose. Its energy value is almost zero. Therefore, D-xylose can be used as a raw material for weight loss foods and blood sugar regulating foods;

2) Activate bifidobacteria in the human gut and promote their growth. Bifidobacteria are beneficial bacteria, and the more they are, the more beneficial they are to human health; Eating xylose can improve the microbial environment of the human body and enhance the immune system.

3) D-xylose cannot be utilized by oral bacteria or broken down by oral enzymes. Simultaneously possessing some physiological functions of dietary fiber, it can reduce serum cholesterol and prevent colon cancer.

4) Xylose has a good compatibility with food, and adding a small amount of xylose to food can demonstrate good health benefits. Simultaneous intake of xylose and calcium can improve the body's absorption and retention of calcium, as well as prevent constipation.
