Zhejiang Wecan Biotechnology Xylitol

CAS Number
87-99-0
Molecular Formula
C5H12O5

Zhejiang Wecan Biotechnology Xylitol is originally produced in Finland and is a natural plant sweetener extracted from plants such as birch, oak, corn cob, bagasse and so on. Xylitol tastes better at low temperature, and its sweetness can reach 1.2 times that of sucrose. Xylitol is often accompanied by a slight cooling sensation after it is taken in. This is because it is easily soluble in water and absorbs a certain amount of heat when it is dissolved. Xylitol is a white crystal with a similar appearance to sucrose. It is the sweetest sweetener among polyols. It has a cool taste, sweetness equivalent to sucrose, and calories equivalent to glucose. It is the sweetener of the future and a substitute for sucrose and glucose.
