Expanding sugar alcohol industry: Microbial production of sugar alcohols and associated chemocatalytic derivatives

Biotechnology Advances, 2023
Sugar alcohols are polyols that are widely employed in the production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food products. Chemical synthesis of polyols, however, is complex and necessitates the use of hazardous compounds. Therefore, the use of microbes to produce polyols has been proposed as an alternative to traditional synthesis strategies.

Sugars, Sugar Alcohols and Honey

2004
Only a few of the sugars occurring in nature are used extensively as sweeteners. Besides sucrose (saccharose), other important sugars are: glucose (starch sugar or starch syrup); invert sugar (equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose); maltose; lactose; and fructose.

Sugar Alcohols as Bulk Sweeteners

Annual Review of Nutrition, 1989
The polyols are a family of bulk sweeteners, some of which are currently used in the United States and in other nations. The use of these compounds is likely to increase in the future. The greatest advantage of polyols as sweeteners is their reduced cariogenicity compared with sucrose, fructose, or glucose.

The Sugar Alcohols: a Profile

1984
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the sugar alcohols. The relative cariogenicity of the different dietary carbohydrates is at present not well defined, but sucrose is generally considered the most cariogenic of the sugars widely represented in the human diet. As the sweet taste cannot be completely removed from foods, much effort has been made

Fermentation of sugars and sugar alcohols by plaque Lactobacillus strains

Clinical Oral Investigations, 2012
The objective was to analyse the ability of Lactobacillus strains isolated from supragingival plaque of subjects with hyposalivation and from healthy controls to ferment sugars and sugar alcohols.Fifty strains isolated from interproximal plaque from subjects with radiation-induced hyposalivation (25 strains), subjects with primary Sjögren's syndrome ...

Interaction of methylparaben preservative with selected sugars and sugar alcohols

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2002
The interaction of methylparaben preservative with selected sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose, maltose, cellobiose) and sugar alcohols (lactitol, maltitol) were demonstrated in this study. It was observed that the formation of transesterification reaction products between methylparaben and the selected sugars occurred only under mild reaction

Metabolism of the Sugar Alcohols and Their Derivatives

1945
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the metabolism of the sugar alcohols that emphasis mainly on the isomeric hexitols. Substances such as methyl alcohol and ethylene glycol are studied under categories other than the sugar alcohols. The sugar alcohol refers to the hexahydric alcohols and their availability as food in the human diet warrants ...

Acyclic Sugar Alcohols

1955
Acyclic sugar alcohols are polyhydroxy compounds forming the homologous series of tetritols, pentitols, hexitols, and heptitols etc. They occur naturally both in the free and combined states and are widely distributed among the various plant families (Table 1, p. 60). The simplest member, glycerol, is a constituent of such naturally occurring compounds
