What Is “Sugar Alcohol”?
Question by queenlarene: what is “sugar alcohol”?
I’m reading nutrition facts and sugar alcohol is listed as an ingredient.
Best answer:
Answer by Naser E
As a group, sugar alcohols are not as sweet as sucrose, and they are also less caloric than sucrose. Their flavor is like sucrose, and they can be used to mask the unpleasant aftertastes of some high intensity sweeteners. In addition to their sweetness, some sugar alcohols can produce a noticeable cooling sensation in the mouth when highly concentrated, for instance in sugar-free hard candy (“boiled sweets”) or chewing gum. This cooling sensation is due to the dissolving of the sugar alcohol into solution being an endothermic (heat-absorbing) reaction. Sugar alcohols are not metabolized by oral bacteria, and so they do not contribute to tooth decay. They do not brown and caramelize when heated.
