The Characteristics
and Uses： |
1.Use in food industry:
(1). The anticarious action of xylitol is better than those of
fructose and cane sugar, because it can not be used by bacteria that
may cause caries. It does not produce any acids in mouth cavity,
therefore it may help the mouth cavity neutral and protect teeth
from acidic erosion. In view of this, xylitol is used as a sweetener
in anticarious foods in the world, such as chewing gum chocolate
which contains xylitol.
(2). Xylitol renders a kind of freshness and sweet taste. When
heated, it does not go Maillard browning reactions. It is stable in
nature and can absorb moisture. And it can be fermented by yeasts.
Due to these characteristics, it can be used as a sweetening
ingredient for soft pastries, candies, chocolate foods and thus the
shelf life is extended without being absorbed. It can be used to
make alcoholic beverages more fragrant, mellow and softly sweet, and
to reduceor inhibit biological degradation.
(3).It can be used as a substitute for table sugar, so as to
prevent the occurrence of adiposis and diabetes caused by excessive
uptake of cane sugar. It can be used in food for diabetes patients.
It may be taken at a daily total amount of not more than 50g.
2. It can be used as a sugar substitute for medical industry.
