Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology-Guwahati (IIT-G) have developed an ultrasound-assisted fermentation method to produce a safe sugar substitute, called ‘xylitol,’ from sugarcane waste.
With increasing awareness of the adverse effects of white sugar (sucrose), not only for patients with diabetes but also for general health, there has been a rise in the consumption of safe alternative sweeteners.
Xylitol, a sugar alcohol derived from natural products, has potential anti-diabetic and anti-obesogenic effects, is a mild prebiotic and protects teeth against caries.
