Xylitol Production Cost Breakup By Hydrogenation Reaction

Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024  | From $ USD

This report proffers the thorough economics of xylitol production by hydrogenation reaction. The production process is initiated by the hydrogenation of xylose, a natural sugar, in the presence of a catalyst. The reaction is carried out in a three-phase batch reactor in the presence of a Raney-Ni catalyst that catalyzes the reaction and results in the formation of a primary alcohol, i.e., xylitol, as the final product.

Top Producers of Xylitol

  • Danisco
  • Shandong LuJian Biological 
  • Yuxin Xylitol Technology
  • Roquette
  • Futaste

Feedstock for Xylitol

Xylitol is a sweetener prepared from xylose, that serves as its primary raw material. The procurement of xylitol is directly determined by some major factors, including variations in its production cost, changes in its market prices, and distribution across the world. Moreover, other prime aspects, such as the availability of its feedstocks (including birch wood or wheat straw that serves as a prime source for xylose, which is used to prepare xylitol), along with the logistics, trading, and transportation activities, also influence its procurement.

The regional availability of birch wood (source of xylose), specifically in the United States and Northern Europe, etc., also impacts the supply of xylose for xylitol production and, hence, directly impacts the procurement of xylitol globally. Additionally, other factors, such as its demand in the pharmaceutical, food, and beverages industries, along with the governmental policies and economic conditions, significantly govern its procurement.
