D-xylose is a five-carbon sugar derived from the hydrolysis of wood chips, rice straw, corn cobs and other plants rich in hemicellulose. Its chemical formula is C5H10O5. Colorless to white crystal or white crystalline powder, with a slight special smell and refreshing sweetness. The sweetness is about 40% of that of sucrose. , Melting point 114 degrees, showing dextrorotation and variable optical rotation, easily soluble in hot ethanol and pyrimidine, and its sweetness is 67% of sucrose. Xylose and glucose have similar chemical properties and can be reduced to corresponding alcohols, such as xylitol, or oxidized to 3-hydroxy-glutaric acid. The human body cannot digest it and cannot use it. Natural crystals are found in a variety of ripe fruits.
In China, xylose is the main raw material for the production of xylitol and has been approved as a non-calorie sweetener by many countries.
