General description

D-(+)-Xylose is a pentose sugar first isolated from wood and found in coconuts, corn cobs, straw, and seed hulls . It is regarded as a safe food additive in the food industry to enhance the flavor and texture of various products such as cookies, fishery products, and bread.

Application

D-(+)-Xylose is used:
  • As an alternative sweetener in food products.
  • To produce the most common sugar alcohol, xylitol, which is used as a bulk sweetener in reduced-calorie foods.
