Whether and if so to what extent the microflora in human saliva and plaque metabolizes L sorbitol, a sugar exchange substance, was studied. The Warburg technique was used for this investigation. It was established that only traces of L sorbitol were present in the saliva and the plaque deposits. It may therefore be assumed that L sorbitol has an extremely low cariogenic effect.
人们研究了人类唾液和牙菌斑中的微生物群落是否以及在何种程度上代谢了一种糖交换物质——L-山梨醇。本研究采用了瓦氏呼吸仪技术。结果表明，唾液和牙菌斑沉积物中仅存在微量的L-山梨醇。因此，可以推测L-山梨醇的致龋作用极低。
