WHY CHOOSE D XYLOSE AS A FOOD ADDITIVE?
*Natural and Safe: 
D Xylose is a natural ingredient and does not contain artificial sweeteners or harmful chemicals. 
This ensures that your product will be safer and more natural.


*Reduce sugar: 
With its natural sweetening ability, D Xylose allows you to reduce the amount of sugar in your products while still maintaining a delicious taste. 
This is a good choice for people who are concerned about controlling their sugar intake.


*Improves structure and elasticity: 
D Xylose can interact with other ingredients in food such as protein and starch. 
This can improve the texture, elasticity, and smoothness of the final product.


*Flavor and color: 
D Xylose provides a fresh flavor and attractive color in food products, increasing their appeal to the eyes and palate of consumers.

For example, D Xylose can improve the natural color of sausages and contribute to the creation of natural sweetness, helping to increase the appeal of the product.


*Sustainable food production: 
With its natural origin and biological production process, D Xylose contributes to the creation of environmentally friendly and sustainable food products.
D Xylose is a natural product, mainly used to produce xylitol, as a non-calorie sweetener in foods and beverages.

PROPERTIES OF D XYLOSE:
*Reducing Sugar:
D Xylose acts as a reducing agent in various chemical reactions.

*Prebiotic Activity: 
D Xylose can promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

*Non-Toxic: 
Safe for human consumption in moderate amounts.

*Sweetness: 
Approximately 70% as sweet as sucrose.

BENEFITS OF D XYLOSE:
*D Xylose supports dietary needs for individuals with diabetes or those seeking low-calorie alternatives.
*D Xylose improves the browning and flavor of baked products without adding excess calories.

*D Xylose plays a role in diagnostic procedures for intestinal health assessment.

STRUCTURE OF D XYLOSE:
The acyclic form of D Xylose has chemical formula HOCH2(CH(OH))3CHO. 
The cyclic hemiacetal isomers are more prevalent in solution and are of two types: the pyranoses, which feature six-membered C 5O rings, and the furanoses, which feature five-membered C 4O rings (with a pendant CH2OH group). 

Each of these rings is subject to further isomerism, depending on the relative orientation of the anomeric hydroxy group.
The dextrorotary form, D Xylose, is the one that usually occurs endogenously in living things. 
A levorotary form, l-xylose, can be synthesized.

OCCURRENCE OF D XYLOSE:
D Xylose is the main building block for the hemicellulose xylan, which comprises about 30% of some plants (birch for example), far less in others (spruce and pine have about 9% xylan). 

D Xylose is otherwise pervasive, being found in the embryos of most edible plants. 
D Xylose was first isolated from wood by Finnish scientist, Koch, in 1881, but first became commercially viable, with a price close to sucrose, in 1930.

D Xylose is also the first saccharide added to the serine or threonine in the proteoglycan type O-glycosylation, and, so, it is the first saccharide in biosynthetic pathways of most anionic polysaccharides such as heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate.

D Xylose is also found in some species of Chrysolinina beetles, including Chrysolina coerulans. 
They have cardiac glycosides (including xylose) in their defensive glands.

DERIVATIVES OF D XYLOSE:
Reduction of D Xylose by catalytic hydrogenation produces the sugar substitute xylitol.

D XYLOSE ABSORPTION TEST: 
D Xylose absorption test is a medical test performed to diagnose conditions that present with malabsorption of the proximal small intestine due to defects in the integrity of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
D Xylose is a monosaccharide, or simple sugar, that does not require enzymes for digestion prior to absorption. 

D Xylose's absorption requires an intact mucosa only. 
In contrast, polysaccharides require enzymes, such as amylase, to break them down so that they can eventually be absorbed as monosaccharides. 

This test was previously in use but has been made redundant by antibody tests.
In normal individuals, a 25 g oral dose of D Xylose will be absorbed and excreted in the urine at approximately 4.5 g in 5 hours. 

A decreased urinary excretion of D Xylose is seen in conditions involving the gastrointestinal mucosa, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and Whipple's disease.
In cases of bacterial overgrowth, the values of D Xyloseabsorption return to normal after treatment with antibiotics. 

In contrast, if the D Xylose urinary excretion is not normal after a course of antibiotics, then the problem must be due to a non-infectious cause of malabsorption
