Erythritol is a very popular sweetener, which is unique natural polyol sweeteners with non calorie and clear cool mouth feel.

Erythritol is a polyol (sugar alcohol) which is very popular for use in baking and as a general sweetener in low carb diets.

Erythritol, as alternatives to sugars and as part of a comprehensive program including proper dental hygiene has been recognized.

Test Report

Properties of Erythritol

1.Low in calories: Erythritol has a very low caloric content; its value is 0. 2 calories per gram for food labeling purposes in the united states and 0 (zero) calories per gram.

2.High digestive tolerance: Erythritol is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine due to its small molecular size and structure.

3.Safe for diabetes’ person: Single dose and 14day clinical studies demonstrate erythritol does not affect blood serum glucose or insulin levels.

4.Do not cause tooth decay: Erythritol like other polyols is resistant to metabolism by oral bacteria which break down sugars and starches to produce acids which may lead to tooth enamel loss and cavities formation. According to a 3year study in 485 school children, erythritol was even more protective against dental caries than xylitol and sorbitol

What is the Erythritol ?

Erythritol, sugar alcohol is a newly developed 4-carbon sugar alcohol, made from glucose fermentation, white crystalline powder, sweet and refreshing, not easy to absorb moisture, good high temperature stability, stable in a wide pH range, It dissolves in the mouth and has a mild cooling sensation, suitable for a variety of tastes.

Product function

1.Low sweetness: the sweetness of erythritol is only 60% to 70% of sucrose, and the entrance has a cool taste, pure taste and no aftertaste.

2.High stability: the acid and heat are very stable, the acid and alkali resistance are very high, and the decomposition and change will not occur under the temperature of 329 degrees.

3.High solution heat: erythritol is dissolved in water with an endothermic effect. The solution heat is only 97.4KJ/KG, which is higher than the absorption heat of glucose and sorbitol, and has a cool feeling when eaten.

4.High solubility: 25 ℃ erythritol, the solubility of sugar alcohol is 36% (W/W), erythritol, sugar alcohols solubility increases, a rise of temperature than glucose, mannose, Arabian sugar alcohols solubility is high, easy to crystallization precipitation crystals.

5.Low hygroscopicity: erythritol, sugar alcohol is very easy to crystallization, but none in 90% humidity environment moisture absorption, easy to crush get powder products, can be used for sour food surface to prevent moisture absorption.

Product application

1.Erythritol has a strong cooling effect (endothermic, or positive heat of solution) when it dissolves in water, which is often combined with the cooling effect of mint flavors.

2.Erythritol is commonly used as a medium in which to deliver high-intensity sweeteners, especially stevia derivatives, serving the dual function of providing both bulk and a flavor similar to that of table sugar.

3.Erythritol is tooth-friendly; it cannot be metabolized by oral bacteria, so it does not contribute to tooth decay.

4.Erythritol has been suggested as the active ingredient causing Truvia-induced impaired motor function and reduced life span in fruit flys.

5.In general, erythritol is free of side effects in regular use. Doses over 50 grams (1.8 oz) can cause a significant increase in nausea and stomach rumbling (borborygmi). Rarely, erythritol can cause allergic hives.
