Xylitol (E967)

Xylitol Xylitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol naturally found in fruits and vegetables, produced commercially from xylan-rich hemicellulose via hydrogenation, offering sugar-like sweetness with zero glycemic impact and proven anti-cariogenic properties. In the food industry, it provides cooling sensation in mints, excellent crystallization control in chewing gum, and complete non-fermentability by oral bacteria for tooth health benefits.
