An Intermediate of Normal Carbohydrate Metabolism In The Body ----- Xylitol

Xylitol is an organic compound, native to Finland. It is a natural Sweetener extracted from plant raw materials such as birch, oak, corncob and bagasse. In nature, xylitol is widely distributed in various fruits, vegetables and cereals, but its content is very low. For the human body, xylitol is not an "imported product", it is the intermediate of people's normal carbohydrate metabolism.

Performance

Xylitol has the same sweetness as sucrose. It can absorb a lot of heat when dissolved in water. It has the largest endothermic value among all sugar alcohol sweeteners. Therefore, when eaten in solid form, it will produce a pleasant cool feeling in the mouth. Xylitol does not cause caries and has anti caries effect. Metabolism is not regulated by insulin. It is completely metabolized in human body. Its calorific value is 10kJ/g. It can be used as a hot energy for diabetics.

Function

Sweetener

Xylitol is a sweetener, nutritional supplement and adjuvant treatment for diabetic patients: xylitol is the intermediate of human carbohydrate metabolism. In the absence of insulin affecting glucose metabolism, it needs no insulin stimulation. Xylitol can also be absorbed and utilized through the cell membrane, promoting the synthesis of glycogen, providing nutrients and energy for cells, and will not increase the blood glucose level. Elimination of the more than 3 symptoms of diabetes mellitus (eating, drinking, and polyuria) is the most nutritious sugar substitute for diabetics.

Improve liver

Xylitol can promote hepatic glycogen synthesis without rising blood sugar. It can improve liver function and anti fatty liver in patients with liver disease. It has obvious curative effect in the treatment of persistent hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis. It is an ideal auxiliary drug for patients with hepatitis complications.

Caries prevention

Xylitol has the best anti caries effect among all sweeteners. Firstly, xylitol can not be fermented and utilized by dental caries producing bacteria in the mouth to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus and the production of acid; Secondly, when chewing xylitol, it can promote saliva secretion. When there is more saliva, it can not only wash the bacteria in the mouth and teeth, but also increase the concentration of alkaline amino acids and ammonia in the saliva and caries spots. At the same time, it can slow down the decline of pH value in the mouth, neutralize and dilute the acid substances that harm the teeth, inhibit the adsorption of bacteria on the tooth surface, and thus reduce the acid corrosion of teeth, Prevent dental caries, reduce the generation of dental plaque and consolidate teeth.

Reduce weight

Xylitol provides energy for the human body, synthesizes glycogen, reduces the consumption of fat and protein in liver tissue, protects and repairs the liver, reduces the production of harmful ketones in the human body, and does not worry about getting fat due to eating. It can be widely used in food, medicine, light industry and other fields. Compared with ordinary white granulated sugar, xylitol has the advantage of low calories - xylitol contains only 2.4 calories per gram, 40% less than most other carbohydrates. Therefore, xylitol can be used in various weight loss foods as a substitute for high calorie white sugar.

Stable

Bioxylitol is metabolized slowly in the body, so it will not cause insulin to suddenly rise or fall. Ordinary sugar will be, xylitol is a natural stabilizer of insulin. Food will not increase insulin in the blood after use. Xylitol also plays an important role in stabilizing hormones. High level insulin can increase the production of estrogen, causing breast cancer to also interfere with the health function of the ovary. Insulin resistance is an important cause of hormone problems (polycystic ovary syndrome); Therefore, reducing insulin level is very important, which is not only for resistance to polycystic ovary syndrome, but also for decomposing more imbalance of other hormones and reducing the risk of breast cancer.

The new supersedes the old. 1, xylitol does not involve insulin in the metabolism, nor does it increase the blood sugar level. It can eliminate more than 3 of diabetes patients (drink, polyuria, and eat more), so it is a safe sweetener, nutritional supplement and adjuvant therapy for diabetics.

2. Xylitol will not cause dental caries and can be used as a sweetener for chewing gum, chocolate, hard candy and other foods.

3. Because of its unique function, it can be mixed with other sugars and alcohols, and can be used as a sweetener of low sugar food.

4. Xylitol tastes cool and has better effect after freezing. It can be used in refreshing cold drinks, desserts, milk, coffee and other industries. It can also be used in health drinks, throat moistening drugs, cough syrup, etc.

5, in order to be healthy, it can be used as a substitute for sucrose to prevent diabetes obesity caused by excessive sucrose consumption.

6. Xylitol is a kind of polyol, which can be used as a moisture regulator for cosmetics and has no irritation to human skin. For example: facial cleanser, beauty cream, make-up water, etc.

7. Xylitol has hygroscopicity and anti caries function, and liquid xylitol has good sweetness, so it can replace glycerol as cut tobacco, anti caries toothpaste, gargle fragrance, antifreeze and moisturizer, etc.

8. Liquid xylitol can be used in the manufacture of battery plates. It has stable performance, easy operation and low cost. It is better than glycerol.

9. Xylitol is a functional sugar alcohol with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
