What is Organic Xylitol?
Organic Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol derived from organic plant materials, primarily organic birch wood or organic corn. It is a versatile, low-calorie sweetener that closely resembles the taste and texture of sugar but with fewer calories and a lower glycemic index. Xylitol is a popular sugar substitute in both food and healthcare products, offering a sweet taste without spiking blood sugar levels. It is certified organic by USDA and EU standards and is free from GMOs, pesticides, and synthetic chemicals, making it an ideal ingredient for clean-label formulations.

Production Process:
Organic Xylitol is produced by extracting natural xylose from plant materials such as birch wood or corn. The xylose is then fermented by specific strains of yeast, which convert the sugar into xylitol. After fermentation, the product is purified, crystallized, and dried to produce the final crystalline powder. The entire process is certified organic, ensuring that the final product is free from synthetic chemicals, GMOs, and pesticides.
