Xylitol A Specialty Sweetener

Jaffe, G.M.  1978.  The xylitol of commerce today is manufactured from xylose extracted from the xylan fraction of the hemicelluloses of forests and agricultural products. Its sweetness and caloric content are equal to sucrose and is twice as sweet as sorbitol and almost three times as sweet as mannitol. Xylitol – A Specialty Sweetener. Sugar y Azucar, April 1978:36-42.
