Our Commitment to Quality

To guarantee that our customers receive the best quality Xylitol products available, Emerald Forest Sugar Inc. inspects every step of the production process.

C5H12O5

Xylitol is a five-carbon sugar that is found in most wood products. Extraction of Xylan Hemicellulose from wood is a technical and expensive process. We have chosen to use corn cob as the raw material for this extraction. It is cost effective, and being a renewable resource, does not require the cutting down of trees. Note: Xylan Hemicellulose does not react with people sensitive to corn. Only manufacturers using substandard extraction techniques can compromise Xylitol’s purity, thereby causing allergic reactions.

Our first priority was to find a quality manufacturing plant that was located in an area where the corn source was non-GMO and the farmers did not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Our company personally inspected farms in many locations and ultimately selected an area in the Henan province of China. The farms there are managed by families who have been using the same techniques for generations. By hand planting their corn between rows of vegetables and trees, and rotating all crops every season, they are able to maintain a soil quality that provides an environment resistant to insects.

After harvest, the farmers remove the corn kernels, and lay the cob out in the sun to dry. Once dried, the cobs are put into large burlap sacks, loaded onto the family’s horse drawn wagon, and sent off to the factory, thus creating a substantial cottage industry for local farmers.

The factory chosen for the source of our Xylitol is privately owned and managed by residents from the same area where the corn is grown. Our manufacturer takes pride in having a modern facility that does not contribute industrial pollution or waste to the environment.

The production of Xylitol uses a natural ion-exchange interaction of hydrogen, hydrochloric acid, and steam. The waste water from this process is used for mushroom farming adjacent to the factory itself, and the pulp is used for fuel.

This modern facility maintains the same high standards required of all pharmaceutical manufacturing companies world wide. All production is contained within an environment that requires the operator to pass through three separate decontamination zones just to enter the manufacturing area. My own inspection of the facility required the same process, and included the wearing of a “hazmat suit” to prevent contamination of the machinery.

All Xylitol factories require in-house laboratory testing of their final product to certify FDA compliance. To insure that there are no discrepancies in testing, we have contracted with an independent laboratory here in the U.S. to confirm that all previous testing was accurate. Once we are satisfied that our Xylitol meets all government regulations (pharmaceutical grade), it is then transported to our factory in Broomfield, Colorado for packaging and redistribution.

Emerald Forest Sugar Inc. maintains the same standard of quality that goes into the manufacturing of the Xylitol. We do not add flow agents to facilitate the packaging process. Our machines work on a gravity feed only. We invite you to visit our facilities or call us with any questions that you might have. Thank you for taking the time to read through our product catalog.
