Xylitol Crystal Characterization and Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
xylitol (C5H12O5, CAS number 87-99-0) of 99% purity from Sigma Aldrich was used. Karl Fischer titration measurements were performed to ensure negligible water content. Moisture sorption isotherms showed that at room temperature and relative humidities below 75%, the mass variation was lower than 0.1%. It can be stated that moisture was not adsorbed during the preparation of samples. Two crystalline forms of xylitol were reported in the early literature: a metastable, hygroscopic monoclinic form melting at 61ºC and a stable orthorhombic form melting at 94ºC [19] .
xylitol seeds with a diameter range between 315 and 400 μm were obtained from the xylitol chunks by sieving as directly received by Sigma Aldrich. The crystal form of the seeds according to DSC and XRPD experiments was orthorhombic.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
