Xylitol and Sorbitol(sugar alcohols used as sweeteners).
Other ingredients include: Sorbitol, stearic acid and magnesium stearate,
Fructose, like Sorbitol, is very hygroscopic, which creates some technological problems.
At the same time, the caloric content of Sorbitol is 2.6 kcal/ g.
Industry uses Sorbitol syrup(70-80%), as well as crystalline Sorbitol,
which is slightly more expensive.
Nevertheless, it is quite possible to make some confectionery masses and sweets with Sorbitol.
Sorbitol is a naturally-occurring sugar alcohol which is
found in many stone fruit and some berries.
Research suggests that Sorbitol is an effective laxative that is safe to use,
even for older adults.
Xylitol(chemical: pentane pentene) belongs to the group of sugar alcohols, which include,
for example, Sorbitol or lactitol.
Then, in small sips, we drink the prepared solution of Sorbitol or mineral water for 30 minutes.
I just briefly say: this substance is a derivative of Sorbitol known sweetener, vyrobatyvaetsya from sugar beets.
Then take a small sip of the prepared solution of Sorbitol or mineral water for 30 minutes.
Later, crystalline fructose appeared on the market, which, like Sorbitol, is absorbed without the participation of insulin.
In this case, it is recommended to cook jam from natural fruits, but instead of sugar, again,
use Sorbitol.
The"Orbit" chewing gum is the same as the usual one, only it contains sugar substitutes:
xylitol, Sorbitol and mannitol.
Sorbitol cannot cross cell membranes, and, when
it accumulates, it produces osmotic stresses on cells by drawing water into the insulin-independent tissues.
The range of cases of confectionery with Sorbitol is inevitably limited,
since the physical properties of Sorbitol solutions differ from the properties of sugar solutions.
From a mixture of Sorbitol syrup and ground nuts,
poured on cooled trays, the iris is made by subsequent cutting(see the section“Confectionery Production”, chapter 19).
Sorbitol and soluble fiber must both also pass through the large intestines,
where bacteria break them down to create hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane gas.
Sorbitol does not crystallize in supersaturated syrups like sugar,
and a mixture of Sorbitol powder with syrup is used in the preparation of confectionery masses
and sweets.
A significant achievement in the
production of diabetic products was the introduction of Sorbitol, which has a good sweetening ability
and is able to replace the volume of sugar.
There is also a variant of"Orbit" without the content of sweeteners. The"Orbit" chewing gum is the same as the usual one, only it contains sugar substitutes:
xylitol, Sorbitol and mannitol.
