Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is commonly used as a sugar substitute in the food industry. It has a sweet taste and texture similar to regular sugar, but contains fewer calories and has a lower glycemic index. Xylitol is often used in the production of baked goods, confectionery products, and beverages. It can also be used as a bulking agent in some food products, such as ice cream and frozen desserts. Xylitol is a popular choice for food manufacturers looking to create healthier, lower-calorie products while still maintaining the desired sweetness and texture. It is also beneficial for dental health, as it does not promote tooth decay like regular sugar does.
