Sugar alcohols can be, and often are, produced from renewable resources.Particular feedstocks are starch, cellulose and hemicellulose; the main conversion technologies use H 2 as the reagent: hydrogenolysis, i.e. the cleavage of C−O single bonds, converting polymers to smaller molecules, and hydrogenation of C=O double bonds, converting sugars to sugar alcohols.
Xylitol occurs naturally in small amounts in plums, strawberries, cauliflower, and pumpkin; humans and many other animals make trace amounts during metabolism of carbohydrates. [10] Unlike most sugar alcohols, xylitol is achiral. [12] Most other isomers of pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol are chiral, but xylitol has a plane of symmetry.
Sucrose (table sugar) is the prototypical example of a sweet substance. Sucrose in solution has a sweetness perception rating of 1, and other substances are rated relative to this. [ 13 ] For example, another sugar, fructose , is somewhat sweeter, being rated at 1.7 times the sweetness of sucrose. [ 13 ]

Mother Tongue as a subject is primarily taught in kindergarten and grades 1, 2 and 3. The adoption of regional languages as a medium of teaching is based on studies that indicate that the use of mother tongues as languages of instruction improves the comprehension and critical thinking skills of children and facilitates the learning of second ...
Erythritol (/ ɪ ˈ r ɪ θ r ɪ t ɒ l /, US: /-t ɔː l,-t oʊ l /) [2] is an organic compound, the naturally occurring achiral meso four-carbon sugar alcohol (or polyol). [3] It is the reduced form of either D- or L-erythrose and one of the two reduced forms of erythrulose. It is used as a food additive and sugar substitute.
Yema is a sweet custard confectionery from the Philippines.It is made with egg yolks, milk, and sugar. [1] [2]The name yema is from Spanish for "egg yolk".Like other egg yolk-based Filipino desserts, it is believed that yema originated from early Spanish construction materials.
Xylooligosaccharides act as a prebiotic, [3] [4] selectively feeding beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli within the digestive tract. A large number of clinical trials have been conducted with XOS, demonstrating a variety of health benefits, including improvements in blood sugars and lipids, digestive health benefits ...
