CONCLUSION |
WE CONFIRM THAT THE GOODS ARE COMPLIED WITH THE EP/USP STANDARD |
1. It may be used in chewing gum, gum confection,
Toffee, soft sweets, jellies, chocolates and buccal tablets, with the functions
of throat-soothing, tooth-cleaning and tooth decay prevention.
2. With
non-fermentation, it may replace sucrose to be applied in drinks, milk, bread,
preserved fruit, biscuits, yogurt, jams and rice puddings to strengthen their
good taste and lasting sweetness.
3.
Xylitol is capable of moisturizing and improving rough skin exactly like
glycerin, and makes people feel fresh and cool rather than tacky when applied.
Therefore, it may be used in various skin care products and toothpastes.
4.
Xylitol can provide ideal sugar substitutes for diabetics. Juices, drinks,
coffee, milk, ice cream, bread and candy may use xylitol in replace of sucrose,
and xylitol may also take replace of sucrose when cooking sweet and source
spare ribs, sweet and sour fish, etc. In a word, diabetics may use xylitol just
like normal people use sucrose. However, daily total dosage should preferably
not exceed 40g for adults, and such a quantity should be halved for children.
