Xylitol is a polyhydric or sugar alcohol derived from xylose. Xylitol, which looks like sugar and even has a similar sweetness, differs from it in particular in its calorie content. Its calorific value is much lower, up to 40%. 1 gram is just 2.4 calories. Its glycemic index is only 8, for comparison traditional sucrose is IG = 70, and glucose is up to IG = 100. Thanks to this, xylitol does not raise blood sugar levels as much as traditional sugar. Therefore, it works well as a sugar replacement for people who should exclude products with a high glycemic index in their diet, and do not want to give up sweetening coffee, tea or sweet snacks and cakes. Its structure affects the stimulation of receptors responsible for the sweet taste on the tongue.
It naturally occurs in raspberries, strawberries, plums and even cauliflower. Finnish xylitol is xylitol derived from birch. The very term xylitol may apply to other fruits and vegetables. Then most often it is made from corn. Depending on the product from which it is obtained, we have different methods of acquisition. Birch is produced by fermentation carried out by bacteria and yeast. However, the one from maize is produced by biomass hydrolysis.
In food, xylitol is most often found in chewing gums and candies. It is increasingly used as a sugar substitute in healthy versions of sweets and cakes. It is ideal for sweetening coffee, tea, smoothies, desserts and ice cream. It is resistant to high temperatures, so you can swap sugar to a xylitol recipes with confidence.
The presence of xylitol in gums is not accidental. When consuming xylitol, it does not ferment with bacteria and thus do not produce acids that have a negative effect on enamel. It also affects the reduction of oral pH and increased saliva production, which has a positive effect on the condition of our teeth. Xylitol also helps facilitate the absorption of calcium, so it is worth that people who face deficiencies include it in their diet. However, it has one disadvantage, if it is consumed too much, it can cause laxity, which is why it is worth checking the amount consumed during the day.
