Xylitol, corn sugar - table sweetener. Xylitol is a sweetener of plant origin. It occurs naturally in raspberries, strawberries, plums, and even cauliflower. Finnish xylitol is xylitol extracted from birch. The term xylitol itself can refer to other fruits and vegetables. In these cases, it is most often made from corn. Depending on the product from which it is derived, we have different extraction methods. Birch xylitol is produced through fermentation carried out by bacteria and yeast. On the other hand, corn xylitol is produced through the hydrolysis of biomass. It has the appearance and sweetness of regular sugar but contains 40% fewer calories. In addition, it has a very low glycemic index (GI = 8), so it does not cause spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels. One gram contains only 2.4 calories. Its glycemic index is only 8, for comparison, while traditional sucrose has an IG = 70 and glucose has a high IG = 100. Therefore, it is well suited as a sugar substitute for people who should exclude products with a high glycemic index, are on a 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's increasingly being used as a sugar substitute in healthy versions of sweets and cakes. It's perfect for sweetening coffee, tea, smoothies, desserts, and ice cream. It's heat-stable, so we can easily replace sugar with xylitol in recipes.
The presence of xylitol in chewing gum is no coincidence. When consumed, xylitol is not fermented by bacteria, thus preventing the formation of acids that negatively affect tooth 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, making it a good option for people with calcium deficiencies. However, it does have one drawback: excessive consumption can lead to constipation, so it's worth controlling the amount consumed throughout the day.

INTEREST
Our body is able to produce xylitol itself; it is produced in the metabolism during digestion.
When we replace sugar in recipes with xylitol, we add the same amount of sugar as regular sugar because its sweetness is similar.
In food it appears under the symbol E967.
