Polyols (also known as sugar alcohols) are a group of reduced-calorie sweeteners. These sweeteners are neither sugars nor alcohols. Instead they are a group of low-digestible carbohydrates used as sugar replacers and providing some unique qualities to reduced-calorie products. However, they are also, in general, less sweet (70 – 100%), and can be combined with high-intensity sweeteners. Polyols are also added to chewing gums because they are not broken down by bacteria in the mouth or metabolized to acids, and thus do not contribute to tooth decay.
Erythritol, Isomaltitol, Maltitol, Sorbitol, and Xylitol are common sugar alcohols.
Our special Polyol Blends are an own class of sugar replacements. The mixes mostly are 1:1 as sweet as sugar but either calorie-free or at least calorie-reduced. Like Polyols, our Polyol Blends are natural sugar replacements and ideally suited to substitute the commonly used sugar. The eating does not contribute to tooth decay and moreover the Polyols and also the Polyol Blends are a group of low-carb sugar replacements, which are particularly important for nutrition-conscious people.
