Xylitol

Xylitol is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H12O5. It is a natural sweetener extracted from birch, oak, corncob, bagasse, and other plant materials. In nature, xylitol is widely distributed in a variety of fruits, vegetables, and cereals, but the content is very low.

Xylitol can be used in sweets, cakes, and beverages as needed in normal production instead of sugar. It is stated on the label that it is suitable for diabetes. In actual production, xylitol can be used as a sweetener and wetting agent. Xylitol can also be used in condensed milk, toffee, fudge, and so on. When used in pastries, browning does not occur. When making cakes with browning, add a small amount of fructose. Xylitol can inhibit the growth and fermentation activity of yeast, so it is not suitable for fermented food
