Since then, it has been a frequently used sweetener in diabetic diets in many countries, including the US, Russia, Germany, and China. Tito Xylitol isn't exactly sugar. While other sweeteners like sorbitol, glucose, or fructose have 6 carbons, xylitol has 5. Hemicellulose is hydrolyzed to produce D-Xylose, whose chemical formula is C5H12O5. D-Xylose is then hydrogenated to produce xylitol. Xylitol is white crystalline and has a pleasant, refreshing, mint-like taste. Xylitol has no allergenic effects. Many harmful bacteria in our mouths cannot break down and utilize this 5-carbon sugar, so xylitol is not a sweetener that negatively impacts our dental health. In addition to being sweeter than sorbitol, it is as energy-inducing as sucrose. Our bodies consume up to 415 grams of xylitol daily through food intake. Therefore, human metabolism is familiar with this sweetener. Xylitol occurs in small amounts in nature. It is usually obtained from fruits (cherries, cherries, strawberries, etc.), organic materials such as lettuce, mushrooms, hardwoods, and corn cobs. A cup of raspberries contains less than 1 gram of xylitol. While 1 gram of Tito xylitol is 2.43 kilocalories (kcal), 1 gram of regular sugar is 3.87 kcal. In other words, Tito xylitol has approximately 500 fewer calories than regular sugar. For this reason, xylitol is recommended for diabetics and hyperglycemia patients. At the same time, xylitol affects blood sugar much less than regular sugar. While the glycemic index (GI) of regular sugar is 100, this value of xylitol is only 7. Tito xylitol can be used in all areas where regular sugar is used, at a 1:1 ratio. Tito xylitol is used as a tooth-friendly raw material in toothpastes, nasal sprays, mouthwashes, and other oral care products. It's also used in chewing gum, candy, cough syrup, and throat lozenges. Because Tito xylitol contains fewer calories than regular sugar, it's also used in many diet products.
