Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Xylitol and where does it come from?
Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol found in fruits, vegetables, and cereal grains. It is commercially produced as a white crystalline powder and used as a healthy sugar substitute.
2. Is Xylitol safe for diabetics?
Yes, Xylitol has a very low glycemic index, meaning it has a minimal impact on blood sugar and insulin levels, making it an excellent alternative for people with diabetes.
3. How many calories are in Xylitol compared to regular sugar?
Xylitol contains approximately 2.4 calories per gram, which is 40% fewer calories than regular table sugar (sucrose), which contains 4 calories per gram.
4. Can Xylitol be used in baking?
Yes, it can be used in baking as a 1:1 sugar replacement in most recipes. However, since it doesn't ferment with yeast, it is not suitable for breads that require sugar for rising.
5. Why is Xylitol used in toothpaste and chewing gum?
Xylitol is non-fermentable by oral bacteria, which means it helps prevent tooth decay, reduces plaque formation, and supports overall dental health.
6. What is the standard packaging and loading capacity?
Our standard packaging is 25kg per bag. A 20FT container can load up to 20MT without pallets or 18MT with pallets.
