Description and Uses
Xylitol is a polyhydric alcohol that is a natural sugar substitute com- mercially made from xylan-containing plants (birch) hydrolyzed to xylose. it is as sweet as sucrose, dissolves quickly, and has a negative heat of solution which results in a cooling effect. it has 24 kcal/g. it is used in chewing gum, throat lozenges, and chocolate.
