What’s Organic Xylitol?
Organic Xylitol is meticulously produced through a careful hydrolysis and hydrogenation process from 100% pure, organically certified plant sources, typically organic birch wood or organic non-GMO corn cobs. This process transforms xylans (complex carbohydrates) into xylitol. The resulting crystalline powder is then purified to ensure exceptional quality and consistency. The organic certification guarantees that the raw materials are cultivated and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms, aligning with strict clean-label and natural ingredient standards.
Organic Xylitol is highly valued for its remarkable similarity to sugar in taste and texture, but with distinct health advantages:
- Dental Health: It’s non-fermentable by oral bacteria, which helps reduce acid production, inhibits bacterial growth, and can even support tooth remineralization, actively promoting dental wellness.
- Low Calorie & Low Glycemic Index: With only 2.4 calories per gram (compared to 4 calories for sugar) and a very low glycemic index of 7, it’s an excellent choice for diabetic-friendly, weight management, and ketogenic formulations.
- Clean, Cooling Sweetness: It provides a pleasant, refreshing taste without the bitter aftertaste often associated with other high-intensity sweeteners.
With its excellent functional properties and impressive health benefits, our Organic Xylitol is the ideal ingredient for manufacturers seeking to deliver delicious, healthier products with a clean and transparent label.

FAQs
Q: What are the primary sources of your Organic Xylitol?
A: Our Organic Xylitol is primarily sourced from organic birch wood or organic non-GMO corn cobs, both recognized as high-quality, sustainable sources for xylitol production.
Q: How does Organic Xylitol benefit dental health?
A: Organic Xylitol cannot be metabolized by Streptococcus mutans, the primary bacteria responsible for tooth decay. This reduces acid production in the mouth, inhibits bacterial growth, and encourages the remineralization of tooth enamel, leading to fewer cavities and stronger teeth.
Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Xylitol typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F / 24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging. It should be kept well-sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
Q: Is Organic Xylitol safe for all consumers, including those with diabetes?
A: Yes, Organic Xylitol is generally recognized as safe for human consumption. Its low glycemic index makes it a suitable sugar substitute for individuals with diabetes, as it does not cause rapid spikes in blood sugar or insulin levels. However, as with any dietary change, individual dietary advice should always be followed.
Q: Can Organic Xylitol be used as a 1:1 replacement for sugar in recipes?
A: In terms of sweetness, Organic Xylitol is very close to a 1:1 replacement for sugar. In terms of bulk and texture, it also performs very similarly to sugar in many applications. However, in large quantities, it can have a mild laxative effect. For baking, some adjustments might be needed depending on the recipe, as it does not caramelize or brown in the same way as sucrose.
