Application
Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in plants, fruits, and vegetables, widely used as a sugar substitute due to its sweetness comparable to sucrose. Available as a pure, white crystalline powder free from additives, preservatives, or colors, it is commonly applied in pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, confections, toothpaste, and chewing gum. Xylitol can be sourced from berries, oats, mushrooms, corn husks, and sugarcane bagasse, making it a versatile and natural sweetening option.
