Molecular Structure:

Property:

The melting point of D-Xylose is 148-153℃. D-Xylose is white crystalline or white crystalline powder. D-Xylose is easily dissolve in water.

D-Xylose has the same sweet and flavor as Glucose. D-Xylose can improve the flavor of normal sweet foods and to inhibit odor, to maximum satisfy the people who like sweet but worry about weight control;

Usage:

D-Xylose is used to produce Xylitol after hydrogenation. D-Xylose is used to add in feedstuff for pets in some advanced countries. The pure crystalline D-Xylose can be the good material instead of sugar to produce flavor agent by its Maillard reaction. Compared with other six carbon sugar, D-Xylose needs fewer reaction time to get different flavors like roast beef/ pork, cooking meat, chicken, baked potato, baking food etc through different hydrolyzed protein and amino acid response. The FEMA of US is approved D-Xylose as a safe food additive (GRAS). D-Xylose is used in good high-quality soy sauce color. D-Xylose is used in raw material for essence to meat. D-Xylose is used to produce anti-oxidants for food.

Packing and Storage:
