Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Xylitol
DescriptionXylitol, also known as xylisorb or meso-xylitol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohols. These are hydrogenated forms of carbohydrate in which the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. Xylitol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Xylitol.
