Xylitol has expanded its territory from chewing gum to the mooncake industry. Many mooncake suppliers in different cities in the country promote their sales of mooncakes made with xylitol.

The sweetness of xylitol is the same as in sucrose, but it has only 60 percent of the calories in sucrose. It can effectively reduce the accumulation of fat in the body, and is very suitable for diabetics.
