“Rising Preference for Plant-Based and Sustainable Xylitol Sources”
- Plant-based xylitol, particularly derived from corn husk and sugarcane bagasse, is gaining traction due to its eco-friendly production and sustainability credentials
- These sources provide high purity and consistent quality, making them ideal for use in premium products such as chewing gum and confectioner
- In regions with abundant agricultural resources, such as Brazil and India, sugarcane bagasse-derived xylitol is favored for its cost-effectiveness and local availability
- Health-conscious consumers and premium brands prefer xylitol for its natural, non-GMO properties and dental health benefits
- For instance, brands such as Spry offer xylitol-based chewing gums marketed for oral health, appealing to wellness-focused consumers
- Manufacturers are increasingly integrating plant-based xylitol into product lines to meet the growing demand for clean-label and sustainable ingredients
