D-xylose belongs to water-soluble dietary fiber and has some physiological functions as dietary fiber. As an emerging functional food ingredient, D-xylose has excellent processing characteristics and multiple physiological regulatory functions | ||
D-xylose is a five carbon sugar obtained by hydrolysis of wood chips, straw, corncob and other Hemicellulose rich plants, with the chemical formula of C5H10O5. Colorless to white crystalline or white crystalline powder, with a slight special odor and refreshing sweet taste. The sweetness is about 40% of sucrose., Melting point 114 degrees, showing right and variable optical rotation, easily soluble in hot ethanol and pyrimidine, with a sweetness of 67% of sucrose. Xylose has similar chemical properties to glucose and can be reduced to corresponding alcohols, such as Xylitol, or oxidized to 3-hydroxy Glutaric acid. The human body cannot digest and utilize it. Natural crystals exist in various mature fruits. | ||
