Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for efficiently producing xylitol, which suppresses the production of the by-product arabitol by applying arabinose to cell metabolism in a complex medium of xylose and arabinose using a xylitol-producing strain to which an arabinose metabolic pathway is newly introduced. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for producing xylitol suppressing the production of arabitol, which hinders purification and crystallization during the production of xylitol, by performing codon optimization so as to effectively express the L-arabinose isomerase (araA), L-ribulokinase (araB), and L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase (araD) enzymes in Candida tropicalis strains; then inserting respective genes into a cassette including a promoter of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and a selectable marker URA3; and transferring the latter to Candida sp. The xylitol-producing strain to which an arabinose metabolic pathway is newly introduced of the present invention can suppress the production of arabitol and can thus be useful in producing xylitol at a high yield.

Abstract: An environmentally sustainable secondary packaging that reduces material usage, as well as production materials and costs. The secondary packaging is designed to provide clear visual display of the product contained therein and therefore utilizes a clear plastic packaging component. In the interest of increasing environmental sustainability of the secondary packaging, usage of clear plastic packaging material and also processing steps are reduced. Additional articles may be contained in the secondary packaging that need not be readily viewed by consumers when the secondary packaging is on display for sale in a retail store. Opaque packaging material, such as paperboard, may be used to cover and / or to enclose such additional articles without affecting visibility of the article to be displayed by the secondary packaging. Also in the interest of increasing environmental sustainability of the secondary packaging, usage of opaque packaging material is reduced as well. Finally, the components of the secondary packaging facilitate formation of the overall secondary packaging in a desired, non-standard (e.g., not cuboid or parallelepiped) shape.
