木糖醇是一种多元醇，作为甜味剂的市场不断增长;可以通过化学或生物技术方法生产。综述了木糖醇的化学性质及其在食品中的应用.介绍了适用的生产技术（从蔬菜和水果中提取，化学合成和基于利用细菌、真菌或酵母的生物技术工艺）。特别注意酵母木糖代谢的基本原理，因为这是影响木糖醇生产最有前途的生物技术方法可行性的关键因素。还描述了涉及酶的利用、酶和微生物的组合或微生物的混合培养物的其它相关技术。(C)1998爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
Xylitol, a polyol with growing market as a sweetener; can be produced by either chemical or biotechnological methods. The chemical properties of xylitol relevant; to its food applications are summarized. The applicable production technologies (extraction from vegetables and fruits, chemical synthesis and biotechnological processes based on the utilization of bacteria, fungi or yeast) are described. Special attention is paid to the fundamentals of xylose metabolism by yeast, since this is a key factor affecting the feasibility of the most promising biotechnological methods for xylitol production. Other related technologies, involving the utilization of enzymes, combinations of enzymes and microorganisms or mixed cultures of microorganisms, are also described. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
