Zhejiang Huakang Pharmaceutical Xylose

Zhejiang Huakang Pharmaceutical Xylose shares roughly the same sweetness and flavor of glucose, which can be used to improve the taste and flavor of desserts, meanwhile inhibit the unpleasant odor. There is an aldehyde group placed at the end of each xylose's chemical structure which can be restored. When being heated with dilute inorganic acid, xylose can generate furfural after dehydration. It can also cause maillard reaction within the heating process when being mixed with amino acids. Xylose, neither can be digested nor absorbed, provides 0 calories and at the same time, well tolerated by human bodies. It generally cannot be utilized by microorganism, but still it can strengthen the function of intestinal bifidobacteria.

Physicochemical Properties

Xylose has the appearance of white crystal or crystal powder. It has up to 70% of the sweetness of sucrose. Like most sugars, it carn adopt several structures depending on conditions. It can be easily dissolved in water (Solubility: 20°C 117g per 100 ml of water). Under the same temperature condition, the viscosity of the saturated solution is smaller than that of xylitol and glucose.
