Xylitol is usually birch sugar, but it can also be obtained from other plant products. It is a derivative of xylose, a polyhydric or sugar alcohol. 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 replacement 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 in 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 to facilitate the absorption of calcium, so it is worth that people who face deficiencies include it in their diet. However, it has one disadvantage, it can cause laxation when consumed too much, so you should control the amount consumed during the day. Xylitol, which looks like sugar and even has a similar sweetness, differs in particular from 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 our 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.
CURIOSITIES
Our body is able to produce xylitol itself, it occurs during metabolic changes during digestion.
When replacing sugar with xylitol, we add the same amount as traditional sugar, because its sweetness is similar.
In foods, it appears under the symbol E967.
