  • Title: Comparative biochemical investigations on the degradation of sugars and sugar alcohols by microorganisms of the oral cavity.
    Author: Gülzow HJ.
    Journal: Int Z Vitam Ernahrungsforsch Beih; 1976; 15():348-57. PubMed ID: 1066332.
    Abstract:
    A comparative study on the extent of degradation of glucose, sucrose, sorbitol and xylitol by microorganisms of human saliva and plaques was made by means of the Warburg-technique. Glucose and sucrose are degraded very rapidly producing significant portions of intermediate acid products. Compared to this, sorbitol is degraded slowly at first but then continuously. On the other hand, xylitol is degraded, if at all, in traces only.
