Product Description

What is Erythritol?

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol naturally found in certain fruits and fermented foods. It has recently gained popularity as a low-calorie sugar substitute due to its sweetness and negligible caloric content. Erythritol is produced by fermenting glucose with yeast or fungi, and it has been approved for use as a food additive by numerous regulatory agencies worldwide.

One of the critical benefits of erythritol is its low glycemic index, which means that it does not significantly raise blood sugar levels when consumed. This makes erythritol an ideal sugar substitute for people with diabetes or anyone trying to maintain a healthy blood sugar level. Additionally, erythritol does not promote tooth decay, making it a tooth-friendly sweetener.

Erythritol has a sweet taste similar to sugar but with a cooling sensation, which can be helpful for formulators looking to create low-sugar or sugar-free products. It is commonly used in sugar-free gum, candy, baked goods, and beverages. Erythritol can also be used as a bulking agent or humectant in food products, helping to improve texture and moisture retention.

One of the most significant advantages of erythritol over other sugar alcohols is its excellent digestive tolerance. Unlike other sugar alcohols, such as xylitol or sorbitol, erythritol is not metabolized in the body and is excreted unchanged in the urine. This means that erythritol does not cause digestive discomfort associated with other sugar alcohols, such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea.

Benefits

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.
High digestive tolerance: Erythritol is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine due to its small molecular size and structure.
Safe for diabetes' person: Single dose and 14-day clinical studies demonstrate erythritol does not affect blood serum glucose levels.
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 3-year study in 485 school children, erythritol was even more protective against dental caries than xylitol and sorbitol.

Application

Food and beverage: Erythritol is primarily used as an alternative sweetener commonly employed in the food and beverage industry as a low-calorie or sugar-free sweetening option. Its sweetness is comparable to sucrose (table sugar), yet it contains minimal calories and has a relatively minor impact on blood sugar and insulin levels.

Oral care products: Due to its resistance to metabolism by oral bacteria, Erythritol aids in preventing tooth decay and is believed to be advantageous for oral health. Additionally, it is utilized in chewing gum, confectionery, oral medications, and certain oral care products.
