Generations of xylitol production from various substrate and catalytic agents. The journey began with the extraction of xylitol from wood (first generation) followed by catalytic reduction of xylose or xylose rich hydrolysate by metal catalysts (second generation). Bioprocessing, which uses photoautotrophic microorganisms developed/engineered to produce xylitol, predominates from the third generation onwards.
