Ivyo bihimba vy’umubiri bitera uburyohe ahanini birimwo ivyiciro bibiri: inzoga zirimwo isukari (nk’iyitwa sorbitol na erythritol) n’inzoga zitagira isukari (nk’iyitwa steviol glycosides na mogrosides). Birangazwa n’uko bifise ama calories make be n’uko bifise isukari nke, ariko rero umuntu akwiye kwirinda kurya birenze urugero.
Kubera ko kenshi hakoreshwa umutobe w’imitsi, ubukonje bwayo buri hasi y’ubw’isukari, ni co gituma udakwiye gukoreshwa cane. Muri rusangi, ni vyiza gusubirira 1/4 y’isukari. Muri ivyo, ikiro 1,5 c’umutobe w’imitsi gishobora gusubirira nk’ikiro 1 c’isukari. Iyo sucrose n’umutobe w’imitsi bikoreshejwe hamwe, uburyo ice cream igira neza, kandi irafise n’akamaro ko gukingira uburyo bwo kuyibika no kuyitwara. Ubusobanuro buragira ico bukoze kandi ku bwoko canke ku rugero rw’ibindi bikoresho bitagira agaciro. Sorbet nyinshi, sherbet canke ice cream z’ivyamwa zirimwo umutobe w’ivyamwa zigira uburyohe bugabanutse kubera aside zazo, ni co gituma bikenewe ko wongerako ibintu bitera uburyohe bivanye n’ivyo. Ku bifungurwa birimwo kakawo canke umutobe w’inzobe, bifise akamoto gakomeye k’umururumba, ni vyiza ko wongerera isukari 2% gushika ku 3% ugereranyije n’ibarafu isanzwe. Ikindi kandi, ibikorwa vyerekanye ko kwongerako umunyu 0,5% (bishingiye ku sukari irimwo) ku ntungamubiri y’isukari 20% bitanga uburyohe bukomeye cane. Ku mata akomeye atagira-ibinure, umunyu, mu rugero rutoyi, urashobora kwongera uburyohe, mu gihe mu rugero runini ruwugoyagoya. Kugira ngo umuntu agire uburyohe bwiza, yongere ubwoko canke agabanye amahera, hakoreshwa ibintu vyinshi bitera uburyohe nk’ubuki, saccharine, cyclamate, meringue, stevia na aspartame bifatanye. Isukari ni nk’igice c’ibintu vyose bikomeye biri mu birungo vy’ibarafu, harimwo n’ivyo bita lactose biva mu mata. Nk’ikintu gisosa, isukari iragira ico ikoze ku gukomera kw’igice gikomeza kandi, ku rugero runaka, iragira ico ikoze ku bunini bw’ibice vy’urubura no ku guhinduka kw’ibice vy’urubura bikonjeshejwe.
Nk’uko bivugwa mu gitabu Baidu Encyclopedia, ibintu bitera inzobe biva ku bimera canke mu binyabuzima bifise isukari, kandi bishobora guca mu bice bibiri: inzoga zirimwo isukari n’inzoga zitagira isukari. Inzoga zirimwo isukari zirimwo sorbitol (50%-70% y’ubusobanuro bw’isukari) na erythritol (60%-70% y’ubusobanuro bw’isukari), mu gihe inzoga zitagira isukari zirimwo steviol glycosides (incuro 150-300 z’ubusobanuro bw’isukari) na mogrosides z’ubusobanuro bw’isukari (24).
