It occurs naturally in raspberries, strawberries, plums, and even cauliflower. Finnish xylitol is derived from birch. The term xylitol itself can refer to other fruits and vegetables. It is most often made from corn. Depending on the product from which it is obtained, we have different methods for obtaining it. Birch is formed by the fermentation of bacteria and yeasts. Corn, on the other hand, is produced by hydrolysis of biomass.
Xylitol, which resembles sugar and even has a similar sweetness, differs in particular in its calorific value. Its calorific value is much lower, even up to 40%. 1 gram represents only 2.4 kcal. Its glycemic index is only 8; for comparison, traditional sucrose has a GI of 70, and glucose has a GI of 100. For this reason, xylitol does not raise blood sugar as much as traditional sugar. Therefore, it works as a sugar substitute for people who have to exclude high glycemic index products from their diet and do not want to give up sweetening coffee, tea, or sweet snacks and cakes.
In food, xylitol is most commonly found in chewing gum and candy. It is increasingly used as a sugar substitute in healthy versions of sweets and cakes. It is perfect for sweetening coffee, tea, smoothies, desserts, and ice cream. It is resistant to high temperatures, so we can confidently convert sugar in recipes into xylitol.
The presence of xylitol in the gums is not accidental. When consumed, xylitol does not ferment with bacteria and therefore does not produce any acid that negatively affects the enamel. It also lowers the pH of the oral cavity and increases saliva production, which has a positive effect on the condition of our teeth. Xylitol also facilitates the absorption of calcium, so it is beneficial to include it in the diet of people with deficiencies. However, it has the disadvantage that excessive consumption can cause purging, so you should control the amount consumed throughout the day.

INTEREST
Our body is capable of producing xylitol itself, which is produced during metabolism during digestion.
When replacing sugar in recipes with xylitol, we add it in the same amount as traditional sugar, because its sweetness is similar.
