(KBr; 200 mg) were mixed gently in a glass mortar, compacted to form the disk by applying a force of 5.5 metric tons using a hydraulic press. The corresponding disks were scanned over the wave number range of 4000–400 cm-1 at a scanning speed of 4 scans /s with a resolution of 1 cm-1
Powder X–Ray Diffraction Powder X–ray diffraction (PXRD) was used to provide an insight into the polymorphic nature of xylitols. The PXRD patterns of all xylitols were collected on a Bruker D8 Advance (Siemens, D5000, Germany) powder diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation (1.54056 Å) using the DIFFRACplus software. Samples were placed into a stainless steel holder and the surface of each powder was levelled manually for analysis. Each sample was scanned from 2 to 40 of 2θ with a step size of 0.019º
