CAS 87-99-0: Xylitol

Description:Xylitol, with the CAS number 87-99-0, is a sugar alcohol (polyol) commonly used as a sweetener. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has a sweetness comparable to that of sucrose, but with fewer calories. Xylitol is naturally found in small amounts in various fruits and vegetables, as well as in the bark of birch trees, which is where it was first extracted. It has a low glycemic index, making it a popular choice for diabetic-friendly products. Additionally, xylitol is known for its dental health benefits, as it can inhibit the growth of cavity-causing bacteria in the mouth. Its chemical formula is C5H12O5, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 152.15 g/mol. Xylitol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by food safety authorities, although it can cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals when consumed in large amounts. It is widely used in sugar-free gum, candies, and oral care products.
