NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Polyols or sugar alcohols have been used as sugar substitutes in a wide variety of foods, beverages, confectionery and even pharmaceuticals among others. Polyols are not only used for their sweetness, but also for adding bulk and texture, providing a cooling effect, inhibiting the browning that occurs during heating and retaining moisture in foods. The commonly used polyols include sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, maltitol, lactitol, erythritol and isomalt. Polyols are increasingly used in food and pharmaceutical applications due to their excellent functional properties and health benefits. The demand for low calorie foods containing polyols is expected to grow further, driven by increasing consumer awareness of diabetes, as well as weight management. Sugar-free confectionery, chewing gum and low-caloric diabetic foods are major application areas driving growth in the global polyols market.
