Xylitol is a low-calorie sugar with a low glycemic index as compared to table sugar. It is widely used as a sweetener in the food industry, mainly in chewing gums, mints, and candies. The product consumption has been linked to several positive health effects, including a reduction in tooth decay, prevention of ear infection, enhanced bone density, weight loss, blood sugar stabilization, etc.

It shows a varied range of applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries. Sugar-free chocolates, chewing gums, hard candies, wafer fillings, pastilles, and other diabetic sweets are produced using xylitol as the key sugar substitutes. It also enhances the flavor, color, and shelf life of food products. Chewing gums that contain xylitol are well known for their therapeutic purposes. The addition of xylitol to cough syrups, tonics, and vitamin preparations results in nonfermentable products. It is added to diets as a beneficial health supplement for diabetic patients, due to its non-cariogenic and non-fermentable properties.
