Sugar alcohols are :
Answer: A
Sugar alcohols are low calorie sweeteners.
Polyols such as sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol and maltitol are only partly absorbed from the gut, so they provide about 2 to 3 kcal per gram against 4 kcal for sugar. They are used in sugar-free sweets and chewing gum, and do not promote dental caries.
They are not non-calorie sweeteners: that term belongs to intense sweeteners such as saccharin, aspartame and sucralose, which are used in tiny amounts. Preservatives prevent spoilage and stabilisers keep emulsions or textures stable; neither describes a sugar alcohol's main role.
