Xylitol or 1,2,3,4,5-Pentahydroxypentane
CAS Number: 87-99-0
Molecular Formula: C5H12O5 or HOCH2[CH(OH)]3CH2OH
Molecular Weight: 152.15
Xylitol or 1,2,3,4,5-Pentahydroxypentane
Xylitol or 1,2,3,4,5-Pentahydroxypentane has European Union code number is E967.
Specifications of Xylitol USP NF Grade:
C5H12O5 --- 152.15
DEFINITION
Xylitol contains NLT 98.5% and NMT 101.0% of C5H12O5 , calculated on the anhydrous basis.
IDENTIFICATION
A. Infrared Absorption
B. The retention time of the xylitol peak of the Sample solution corresponds to that of the Standard solution, as obtained in the Assay.
ASSAY
To pass the test by gas chromatography.
Acceptance criteria: 98.5%–101.0% on the anhydrous basis
Residue on Ignition: NMT 0.5%
Reducing Sugars:
Sample: 500 mg
Analysis: Dissolve the Sample in 2.0 mL of water in a 10-mL conical flask. Into a similar flask, pipet 2 mL of a 0.5 mg/mL dextrose solution. To each flask add 1 mL of alkaline cupric tartrate TS, heat to boiling, and cool.
Acceptance criteria: Any turbidity in the xylitol flask is NMT that in the dextrose flask, in which a reddish-brown precipitate forms (0.2% reducing sugars, as dextrose).
Limit of Other Polyols:
To pass the test by gas chromatography.
Acceptance criteria: The sum of the polyols is NMT 2.0%, calculated on the anhydrous basis.
Water Determination: NMT 0.5%
Specifications of Xylitol FCC Food Grade:
1,2,3,4,5-Pentahydroxypentane
C5H12O5 Formula weight 152.15
INS: 967 CAS 87-99-0
DESCRIPTION
Xylitol occurs as white crystals or as a crystalline powder. One gram dissolves in about 0.65 mL of water. It is sparingly soluble in ethanol.
Function: Nutritive sweetener.
Identification: The infrared absorption spectrum of a potassium bromide dispersion of sample between two sodium chloride plates exhibits relative maxima at the same wavelengths as those of a similar preparation of USP Xylitol Reference Standard. If a difference appears, dissolve portions of both the sample and the reference standard in a suitable solvent, evaporate the solutions to dryness, and repeat the test on the residues.
Assay: Not less than 98.5% and not more than 101.0% of C5H12O5, calculated on the dried basis.
Lead: Not more than 1 mg/kg.
Nickel: Not more than 1 mg/kg.
Other Polyols: Not more than 1.0%.
Reducing Sugars: (as glucose) Not more than 0.3%.
Residue on Ignition: Not more than 0.1%.
Water: Not more than 0.5%.
