Hitoro Group
Profile: Hitoro Group produces bulk amount of xylose annually. We supply the raw material to several xylitol manufacturers. We are a stable supplier because we produce our own raw materials of xylose for xylitol. We have two forms of xylitol, one is crystal directly from crystalization and partical size from 20 to 100 meshes, and second form is grinded xylitol fine powder. Our xylitol is present in many fruits and vegetables. It is produced commercially from plants such as birch and other hard wood trees and fibrous vegetation and has the same sweetness and bulk as sucrose with one-third fewer calories and no unpleasant aftertaste. It quickly dissolves and produces a cooling sensation in the mouth. After adding low concentration of sulfic acid, high pressure, and high temperature, the hemicellulose is broken down to xylose. Xylose mixture is decolored by repeated runs in active carbon columns and ion-exchange columns. Decolored xylose mixture is purified by further running in several ionexchange columns and crystalization of xylose from the mixture. .
