Can diabetics eat xylitol and oligoisomaltose and other sweet things? Xylitol (Xylitol also known as pentanol) is a five-carbon sugar alcohol Its molecular formula is C5H12O5, xylose metabolism is a normal intermediate product, the shape of the crystalline white powder, widely available in fruits, vegetables, cereals, mushrooms and other foods and wood, straw, corn cobs and other plants. It can be used as a sweetener, nutrient and pharmaceutical agent in chemical, food, medicine and other industries widely used. As a functional sweetener, xylitol can participate in human metabolism, enter the bloodstream, without insulin can penetrate into the cells and metabolism speed, will not cause blood sugar rise, is the most suitable for diabetic patients to eat nutritional sugar substitutes. ~~~~ However, xylitol and glucose are all carbohydrates composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Xylitol may not need insulin to participate in the initial stage of metabolism, but in the late stage of metabolism, insulin is needed to promote. Therefore, xylitol can not replace glucose to correct metabolic disorders, nor can it reduce blood glucose, urinary glucose, and improve clinical symptoms. Clinical practice shows that xylitol does not treat diabetes, and xylitol eat too much, blood triglycerides rise, causing coronary atherosclerosis, therefore, diabetics should not eat more xylitol. Xylitol and ordinary sugar, compared with the advantages of low calories, to a certain extent, also help the cleanliness of the teeth, but excessive consumption may also bring diarrhea and other side effects, which should not be ignored.

/2004style/xxzy/t20040910_79389.htm Low-polymerized isomalto-oligosaccharide is based on the raw material of high-quality corn starch. Adopting advanced technology and imported auxiliary materials, it is a new sugar source with nutritional and health care functions. Its main component is Isomaltose (Isomato) Panose (Panose) containing a-1.6 glucosidic bond Isomaltotriose (Isomaltotriose). Main Functions and Effects: It has a powerful proliferative effect on the beneficial bifidobacteria in the body, purifies the intestinal tract, promotes intestinal peristalsis, prevents and lifts constipation and diarrhea, and inhibits the propagation of harmful bacteria in the body and the production of poisonous and corrosive substances. Clostridium perfringens which secretes many kinds of toxins in the body has obvious inhibitory effect, enhances immunity, reduces cholesterol and blood fat, promotes the absorption of calcium in the elderly, and it is a nutritious supplement for preventing osteoporosis in the elderly, and it can also block sucrose from being decomposed by Streptococcus mutans, and inhibit tooth decay. Beverages: functional health care, carbonated, soy milk, jelly, coffee and tea drinks. Dairy products: milk, fermented milk, lactic acid bacteria and various milk powder. Candy cakes: all kinds of soft and hard candy, sorghum syrup, kraft candy, chocolate, cookies, moon cakes, cakes, pasta colors, fillings, etc. Cold beverages: ice-cream, popsicles, ice cream, etc. Physiological functions of oligoisomaltose I. It can have the property of promoting the significant proliferation of bifidobacteria. Oligomeric isomaltose will not be absorbed by the human stomach and small intestine, but directly into the large intestine, bifidobacteria priority use, help it to reproduce in large quantities, for the proliferation of bifidobacteria; other harmful bacteria in the intestines can not be utilized, thus inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria, and prompting the micro-ecology in the intestines to the benign cycle of adjustment. 1、Maintain the balance of normal intestinal bacterial group, especially for the elderly and infants. Bifidobacterium bifidum can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and spoilage bacteria, prevent constipation, dysentery and gastrointestinal disorders. 2、Bifidobacterium bifidum has anti-tumor activity. 3, Bifidobacterium bifidum can synthesize vitamin B1, B2, B6, K, niacin, folic acid and so on in the intestinal tract, and can also biosynthesize certain amino acids, which can improve the body's absorption of calcium ions. 4、Lowering the level of cholesterol in the blood, preventing and controlling high blood pressure. 5, can improve the digestibility of dairy products, improve people's tolerance to lactose. Many foreign dairy products are added malt oligosaccharides to improve their health functions. 6, enhance human immune function, prevent antibiotics on the human body of various adverse side effects. Second, with anti-caries, oligomeric isomaltose is a difficult fermentation sugar, will not be utilized by tooth decay bacteria. When used in combination with sucrose, oligoisomaltose with isomaltose residues will strongly inhibit the synthesis of insoluble glucan, thus preventing the formation of dental scales and preventing the growth and reproduction of decaying bacteria attached to the teeth. Therefore, oligoisomaltose plays a role in preventing dental caries in foods made from sucrose. Third, with difficult fermentation, oligoisomaltose is a sugar that cannot be utilized by yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Adding it to the food will not increase the calorific value of the food too much, and the eaters do not have to worry about getting fat. IMO-900 products. Containing more than 45% of isomaltose, pancreatic sugar and isomaltotriose, and more than 90% of non-fermentable sugar, it is used in food suitable for diabetic patients, which will not cause the increase of blood glucose or increase the level of insulin in the blood, and its health care performance is better than that of IMO-500, so its application is more extensive. The application of oligoisomaltose in food 1, the application of oligoisomaltose in dairy products Infant milk powder: after weaning from breastfeeding, infants have diarrhea, constipation, indigestion and other phenomena due to the decrease in the number of bifidobacteria in the intestine, in order to restore the health of infants during this period, should be supplemented with bifidobacterial factors, and timely adjustment of the micro-ecology. Oligomeric isomaltose is added to infant formula instead of sucrose, and weaning milk powder is produced by spray drying. Adult milk powder: Adding oligoisomaltose in milk powder can make the decreasing bifidobacteria in the intestinal tract of middle-aged and old people proliferate, and play the role of laxative and laxative, and enhance the role of the human body's immunity. Active yogurt: adding oligoisomaltose syrup to fresh milk, active yogurt is produced by fermentation of bifidobacteria and lactic acid, and oligoisomaltose plays a key role in ensuring the number and survival of bifidobacteria in yogurt. Or use oligoisomaltose with soy milk, the production of functional soy milk will have the same effect. 2, the use of fresh fruit resources to develop functional fruit juice, Hebei's pear, Shaanxi's kiwi, Hainan's coconut, Guangdong's guava, Guangxi's mango, Shandong's apple, Jiangsu's plums and prunes, Zhejiang's citrus, etc., can be applied to the development of a new generation of beverages with oligoisomaltose. The heat and acid resistance of oligoisomaltose is better than that of sucrose, the water activity is lower than that of sucrose, and the viscosity is similar to that of sucrose. So using oligoisomaltose instead of or partially in place of sucrose, process and equipment do not have to change, because it contains bifidogenic factors can be called functional food. 3, the application of oligomeric isomaltose syrup and honey ratio (oligomeric isomaltose syrup: honey = 1:3) and soluble, through the refining process, the production of honey syrup. The product is not only improve the quality of appearance, in the prevention and treatment of constipation, adjust the micro-ecology, promote intestinal function is very high. 4、Use local Chinese herbal medicine resources and oligoisomaltose to produce health care drugs with unique functions. For example: with hawthorn, yam, black sesame and other scientific formula to develop laxative health food, and Xinjiang's snow lotus, Qinghai's Cordyceps or the development of edible mushrooms around the production of health food, not only to improve the taste and function in the role of complementary. 5, the candy industry using oligomeric isomaltose production of candy will not cause dental caries, and will not make the consumer fat. (1) The application of oligoisomaltose with condensed milk, cream, gelatin, spices and other production of high-grade candy, adjusting each piece of candy containing more than 2g of oligoisomaltose, to become a low calorie value, non-caries and rectification of the effects of health care confectionery. (2) The application of oligoisomaltose with Fontaine's sugar base, condensed milk, cream, emulsifier, spices, nuts, etc., the production of caramelized candies or inflatable candies, with non-caries and rectification of intestinal function. (3) Application of oligomeric isomaltose syrup and powdered sugar with gelatin, oil spices, etc. Using the existing equipment, the production of non-caries, low-calorie and intestinal function of the chewing gum, bubble gum and other health care sweets with excellent taste. B. Brewing industry The application of oligomeric isomaltose in brewing industry can improve the quality of wine and taste, and the application of oligomeric isomaltose in fruit wines, wines and liquor usually adopts the method of preparation and blending. Oligomeric isomaltose is used in the brewing process of yellow wine and beer, where glucose and maltose are converted into ethanol by yeast fermentation. Non-fermentable sugars such as isomaltose, pentose, isomaltotriose and isomaltotetraose are retained in the wine, and these non-fermentable sugars improve the taste and, in particular, give the wine a physiological function. Bakery industry The application of oligoisomaltose in the bread and pastry industry utilizes its moisturizing property, low sweetness and the function of non-fermentable sugar. It can make pastry fluffy and crispy, bread elasticity, sweet and delicious, not easy to aging, prolong shelf life, improve the quality of grade, bean paste, lotus seed paste processing with it instead of sucrose can be prevented from returning to the sand, caking, not easy to deteriorate, reduce the sweetness, long-term application of these foods is good for health. The application of oligoisomaltose in feed processing industry Oligomeric isomaltose is used in feed industry instead of live bacterial preparation, used in livestock, poultry and aquaculture, as animal production agents and health agents. Compared with the control group, the daily weight gain of piglets fed with feed containing 0.25% oligoisomaltose for 21 consecutive days increased by 7%, and the feed conversion rate (meat ratio) decreased by 14%. Developmental survival, meat production and feed return were increased and improved when broilers were fed 0.2% oligoisomaltose from an early age.
