Abstract :
Sorbitol and xylitol are sugar alcohols that are used as low-calorie sweeteners in the food, pharmaceutical and health industries and are beneficial for dental health and blood sugar control. Sugar alcohols are a type of poorly digestible carbohydrate that includes fiber and resistant starch and are naturally present in many fruits. Since these substances are sucrose-based, they are good for oral health and are in demand by people because they are considered low-calorie or calorie-free products. Xylitol and sorbitol do not negatively affect blood sugar and are suitable for diabetics and people on low-carb diets.
