Polyglycitol syrup has uses as a food additive, and is also known as E964.
E 964 is generally considered safe.
E 964 is a natural sweetener that is derived from plant-based carbohydrates, and it is produced without any animal products.
CAS: 68425-17-2
MF: C18H34O16
MW: 506.45296
EINECS: 270-337-8
E 964 has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, and it has gained approval in many other countries across the world as well.
E 964 has been tested extensively and has been proven to be safe for consumption.
E 964 contains 95-97% glucose, with the rest being composed of other carbohydrates, mainly maltitol and isomalt.
E 964 is far lower than other sweetening alternatives, such as sucrose and high fructose corn syrup.
E 964 also has fewer calories and carbohydrates than sugar, meaning it can be consumed by diabetics and those with other dietary restrictions.
In addition, E 964 does not cause tooth decay and does not stimulate the release of insulin like other sweetening agents.
All of this makes E 964 a safe and attractive alternative for those looking for a sugar substitute.
E 964 is primarily made up of a mixture of glucose and maltitol molecules.
E 964 is a simple monosaccharide sugar and maltitol is an alcohol derived from glucose.
E 964 has approximately half the sweetness of sucrose and about the same calorie content.
E 964 is used as a sugar substitute in foods such as candies, chewing gum, and desserts, to provide a sweet taste without the calories from sucrose.
E 964 also helps to bulk up products, as it is a bulk sugar alternative.
In addition, E 964 is resistant to dental caries, helping to reduce the risk of decay and cavities.
E 964 has very low glycemic index, meaning it does not cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels.
This makes E 964 a popular sweetener choice for people with diabetes or those looking to watch their sugar intake.
E 964 is a sugar substitute found in many sugar-free candies, gums, and baked goods.
Because E 964 is a sugar alcohol, it is often used as an alternative to sugar due to its lower glycemic index and caloric content.
Unlike sugar, E 964 is not completely absorbed by the body, so it does not raise blood sugar levels as quickly or as much as sugar does.
In general, eating or drinking foods that contain E 964 may lead to a slow and gradual rise in blood sugar levels, depending on the amount consumed.
For people with diabetes, E 964 may be advisable to limit consumption of foods containing maltitol and to monitor their blood sugar levels more closely.
E 964 is registered under the REACH Regulation and is manufactured in and / or imported to the European Economic Area, at ≥ 100 000 to < 1 000 000 tonnes per annum.
E 964 is used by consumers, in articles, by professional workers (widespread uses), in formulation or re-packing, at industrial sites and in manufacturing.
E 964 is a type of hydogenated starch hydrolysate (HSH) syrup.
E 964's a mix of maltitol and sorbitol, both of which are non-keto sweeteners.
E 964 has a glycemic index of 39, meaning that it will spike your blood sugar and interfere with ketosis.
E 964 containins a combination of maltitol, sorbitol and high molecular weight polymers that has a boost of sweetness from two high potency sweeteners (acesulfame potassium and sucralose).
While its primary use is in sugar free candy, its unique polyol composition makes E 964 ideal for imparting stability and sweetness to other food and confectionery systems .
What Is E 964 For Diabetics?
E 964 is a type of carbohydrate used as a sweetener and found in many diabetic-friendly foods, like sugar-free candies, gum and baked goods.
They are naturally occurring, as they are derived from a variety of plants, including vegetables and fruits.
E 964 is sometimes referred to as polyols and offer a solution for those with diabetes who still crave the sweetness of their favorite foods.
The most common E 964 for diabetics include mannitol, maltitol, sorbitol, xylitol, lactitol, erythritol, isomalt and hydrogenated starch hydrolysates.
They are typically lower in calories than regular sugar, so they may offer a few beneficial considerations that are beneficial for those with diabetes.
For example, when E 964 comes to blood sugar control, sugar alcohols don’t produce drastic changes in blood sugar, as their sugar content is much lower than regular sugar.
E 964 is important to note, however, that sugar alcohols still contain calories, so they should still be taken into account when keeping track of calories in a diabetic diet.
In addition, E 964 can produce gastrointestinal discomfort if they are consumed in large amounts – therefore, these should also be taken into account when trying to keep total sugar and sugar alcohol intake within recommended dietary guidelines.
What Do Sugar Alcohols Do To Your Body?
E 964 is type of carbohydrates found in food products that can affect digestion, blood sugar and calorie intake.
E 964 is not completely absorbed by the body and can contribute fewer calories than other sugars.
Because of E 964, they are sometimes added to foods to act as a sweetener and provide some of the sweetness and texture of sugar without all of the calories.
E 964 is not technically alcohols, but due to their chemical structure, they often behave similarly to sugar and alcohol in the body.
The E 964 most frequently used in food products are xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, maltitol and erythritol.
Ingesting E 964 can cause some digestive side effects such as bloating, gas and diarrhea in some people, although the extent to which sugar alcohols can cause these side effects vary between individuals.
E 964 is recommended to start by using small amounts of sugar alcohols and gradually increase the amount in order to reduce any possible side effects.
Additionally, E 964 can have a laxative effect in some people, so it is best to use them in moderation.
E 964 can affect blood sugar levels, but the extent to which they do this depends on the type of sugar alcohol and how much is consumed.
While E 964 can generally lower the glycemic index of a food, some types can still cause a temporary spike in blood sugar levels.
Since E 964 are not completely absorbed, they can also cause lower calorie counts in foods depending on how much is used.
Overall, consuming small amounts of E 964 in moderation can help reduce the amount of calories and sugars consumed as well as help reduce the glycemic index of a food.
However, E 964 is important to be aware of any potential digestive or glycemic side effects they may have.
