Xanthan Gum

Xanthan Gum

Xanthan gum je přírodní polysacharid, který se vyrábí fermentací cukru s bakterií Xanthomonas campestris. Slouží jako zahušťovadlo, stabilizátor a pojivo v potravinářské výrobě. V bezlepkovém pečení nahrazuje funkci lepku a dodává těstu elasticitu a soudržnost. Používá se v malých množstvích, obvykle půl až jedna čajová lžička na recept. Rozpouští se v studené i teplé vodě a vytváří hladkou, gelovitou konzistenci. Nemá žádnou výraznou chuť. Měl by být skladován na suchém místě při pokojové teplotě.

Xylitol

Xylitol

Xylitol, also known as birch sugar, is a sugar alcohol derived from birch wood or corn cobs. It has the same sweetness as regular sugar but forty percent fewer calories. It significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay, which is why it is added to chewing gums and toothpastes. In baking, it is used in a one-to-one ratio as a sugar substitute. It may cause digestive issues if consumed in excess. Warning: it is highly toxic to dogs. Store in a dry place.
