Introduction
The increased consumer demand for healthier products
stimulates the development of modified foods with lower
sugar content. To ensure appropriate sensory and microbiological
properties, these foods need the addition of
alternative sweeteners, antimicrobial and bulking agents.
Among bulking agents, polyols possess sweetening
properties that vary with the type of polyol. Xylitol, for
example, is the sweetest of all the polyols, has no after taste
and is safe for diabetics. According to the US Food and
Drug Administration, its use allows reducing the nutritional
input (4.0 kcal/g for sucrose; 2.4 kcal/g for xylitol).
