Abstract

Described herein are products comprising a xylose (e.g., D-xylose or L-xylose and another sweetener such as glucose). Exemplary products include cosmetic products, oral care products, therapeutic products, nutraceutical products, diagnostic, beverages, animal food products, and human food products. Methods of making the xylose containing products from biomass is provided.

Claims

1. A composition comprising an enzymatically saccharified cellulosic or lignocellulosic biomass extract, said biomass having a source xylose and glucose ratio based on both free sugar and polysaccharides of the biomass,

wherein the composition comprises molecular glucose, molecular xylose and one or more saccharides selected from the group consisting of galactose, sucrose, arabinose, mannose, and fructose,

wherein the glucose, xylose and one or more saccharides are co-produced from the source biomass,

wherein the xylose/glucose ratio of the composition is the same ratio as the source xylose/glucose ratio of the cellulosic or lignocellulosic biomass,

wherein less than 5 percent by weight of the composition comprises the one or more saccharides, and

wherein the composition further comprises a preservative, an emulsifying agent, a stabilizer, a humectant, or an anticaking agent.

2. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is a food grade product.

3. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is a cosmetic grade product.

8. The composition of claim 1, wherein the glycemic index of the composition is less than 30.

9. The composition of claim 1, wherein the glycemic index of the composition is less than 50.

10. The composition of claim 1, wherein the glycemic index of the composition is less than 15.

11. The composition of claim 1, wherein less than 1 percent by weight of the composition comprises the one or more saccharides.

12. The composition of claim 1, wherein less than 5 percent of the calorie content of the composition is from the one or more saccharides.

13. The composition of claim 1, wherein less than 1 percent of the calorie content of the composition is from the one or more saccharides.

14. The composition of claim 1, further comprising a colorant.

15. The composition of claim 1, further comprising an electrolyte.

16. The composition of claim 1, further comprising a vitamin.

17. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is in a form selected from capsule, pill, or tablet.

18. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is a solution.

19. The composition of claim 10, wherein the solution has a viscosity in the range of 50-100,000 cP.

20. The composition of claim 10, wherein the composition is a syrup.

21. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is a solid.

22. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition has a color less than about 100 as measured by the platinum-Cobalt method.

28. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is a product selected from the group consisting of a cosmetic product, oral care product, therapeutic product, nutraceutical product, diagnostic, beverage, animal food product, and human food product.

one or more of a saccharide selected from the group consisting of galactose, sucrose, arabinose, mannose, and fructose,

wherein less than 5 percent by weight of the composition comprises the one or more saccharides, and

wherein the composition further comprises a preservative, an emulsifying agent, a stabilizer, a humectant, or an anticaking agent.

24. The composition of claim 23, wherein the ratio of xylose/glucose is between about 35/50 and about 250/50, between about 40/50 and about 100/50, or between about 45/50 and about 95/50.
