Xylitol is the sweetest of ail the polyols. It is as sweet as sucrose, has no after-taste and is safe for diabetics. Xylitol has 40% less calories than sugar and, for this reason, a caloric value of 2.4 kcal/g is accepted for nutritional labelling in the EU and the USA.
In crystalline applications, it provides a pleasant,natural cooling effect, greater than that of any other polyol.
It is the only sweetener to show both passive and active anti-caries effects.

1. The sweetness at room temperature is comparable to that of sucrose, and the sweetness at low temperature reaches 1.2 times that of sucrose.
2. Soluble in water, absorb a lot of heat when dissolved, the mouth feels particularly cool when eating.
3. Not used by the bacteria in the oral fermentation, can inhibit bacterial growth and acid production, can prevent dental caries.
4. The blood sugar level will not rise after eating xylitol.
5. Good biological stability.
6. Good moisture absorption.
