description Product Description
D-(-)-Xylose is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a low-calorie sweetener. It is particularly favored in products designed for diabetics due to its low glycemic index. Additionally, it serves as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which enhances digestive health.
In the pharmaceutical sector, D-(-)-Xylose is utilized in diagnostic tests to assess intestinal absorption capabilities. The D-xylose absorption test helps diagnose conditions like malabsorption syndromes and celiac disease by measuring the body's ability to absorb this sugar.
Moreover, D-(-)-Xylose finds applications in the production of xylitol, a sugar alcohol used in sugar-free gums, mints, and oral care products. Its role in xylitol production underscores its importance in the confectionery and dental care industries.
In biotechnology, D-(-)-Xylose is a key substrate in microbial fermentation processes. It is used to produce biofuels and biochemicals, leveraging its fermentable properties to create sustainable energy sources and industrial chemicals. This application highlights its significance in advancing green technologies and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
