Description

Xylitol USP

Xylitol USP is a high-purity, five-carbon sugar alcohol used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food formulations as a sweetener, humectant, and excipient. Compliant with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards, it provides clean sweetness, moisture retention, and cooling properties without contributing to tooth decay or significant blood glucose elevation. Xylitol
• Is a USP-compliant polyol sweetener for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications
• Is used as a sweetener, humectant, and bulking agent
• Provides sweetness comparable to sucrose with a cooling mouthfeel
• Is suitable for oral care products, chewable tablets, and sugar-free formulations
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Xylitol USP is chemically designated as (2R,3r,4S,5R)-Pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol. It appears as a white crystalline powder or granules, freely soluble in water, with a pleasant, refreshing sweetness approximately equal to that of sucrose. It exhibits mild cooling sensation upon dissolution due to its negative heat of solution.
In pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications, Xylitol USP is used in:
• Oral tablets, chewables, lozenges, and effervescent formulations
• Sugar-free foods, beverages, and dietary supplements
• Oral care products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, and chewing gum
• Topical and dermal formulations as a humectant and stabilizer
• Research and development of low-glycemic nutritional products
Xylitol USP provides functional and sensory benefits while promoting dental health through its non-cariogenic properties. It supports controlled moisture retention and enhances the texture and mouthfeel of oral and solid dosage formulations.
CarboMer supplies Xylitol USP with control over assay, particle size, moisture content, and microbial purity. The material meets USP monograph specifications and is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical, nutritional, and food applications.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale quantities. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation, including CoA and SDS are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR, HPLC), assay (anhydrous basis), loss on drying, reducing sugars, heavy metals, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer excipients and functional polyols, Xylitol USP is supported by formulation expertise, regulatory guidance, and reliable global supply to ensure safe, effective, and high-quality product performance.
