Xylitol in sachet (40 x 5 g) 200 g - SANTINI

DESCRIPTION
XYLITHOL IN SACHETS (40 x 5 g) 200 g - SANTINI

Naturally present 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 commonly produced from corn. Depending on the product from which it is obtained, we have different methods of production. Birch is produced by fermentation with bacteria and yeasts. On the other hand, corn is produced by hydrolysis of biomass.
Xylitol is primarily birch sugar, but it can also be obtained from other plant products. It is a polyhydroxy or sugar alcohol, a derivative of xylose. Its structure stimulates the sweet taste receptors on the tongue.
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 pastries. It is perfect for sweetening coffee, tea, smoothies, desserts, and ice cream. It is resistant to high temperatures, so we can safely replace sugar in recipes with xylitol.
The presence of xylitol in gum is not accidental. When consumed, xylitol does not ferment with bacteria, and therefore no acid is produced 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 for people suffering from deficiencies to include it in their diet. However, it has a drawback: when consumed in excess, it can cause purgations, so it is worth monitoring the amount consumed during the day.

INTEREST
Our body is capable of producing xylitol itself; it is involved in metabolism during digestion.
Replacing sugar with xylitol in recipes adds the same amount of sugar as traditional sugar, as it has a similar sweetness.
In food, it appears under the symbol E967.
