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.
Inverted sugar syrup – (also called invert syrup) is an edible mixture of two simple sugars – glucose and fructose – that is made by heating sucrose (table sugar) with water and acid. [7] Kuromitsu – a Japanese sugar syrup, literally "black honey", it is similar to molasses, but thinner and milder
Trident gum contains the sugar alcohol xylitol, which is known as a "tooth-friendly" sugar. [3] Use of the chemical has been subject to controversy, as it is highly toxic to dogs. [4] [5] Trident has been sued for false labeling over its depiction of a blue mint leaf on its Trident original-flavor gum when the gum lacks any real mint. [6]
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.
[1] [3] L-Xylulose is a reducing sugar, so it may give false diagnosis of diabetes, as it is found in high concentrations in urine. However glucose metabolism is normal in people with pentosuria, and they are not diabetic. [4] Patients of pentosuria have a low concentration of the sugar d-xyloketose. [5]
Xylitol is found in many products, ranging from sugar-free candy and gum to toothpaste. People also use it as a sweetener and for baking. Sugar alcohol and cardiovascular risks
Attar, or qatir (Arabic: قَطْر) is a type of sweet syrup used in the preparation of Middle Eastern desserts.It is made of primarily sugar and water, and is reduced slightly until somewhat golden and thicker.
