Product Overview and Characteristics

Erythritol is a filling-type sugar alcohol sweetener produced by biological fermentation, with a sweetness of 60-70% that of sucrose, and it produces a cooling sensation when dissolved. This substance is extremely low in calories and its metabolism in the human body causes almost no fluctuation in blood glucose and insulin levels, making it suitable for sugar-controlled formulation needs; it also has low hygroscopicity, good thermal stability, is not easily utilized by oral microorganisms, and has an anti-caries effect. Erythritol can be used alone to provide sweetness, and can also be compounded with high-intensity sweeteners to mask undesirable aftertastes, balance the overall taste of the system, and improve product processing performance and storage stability. It is widely used in sugar-free beverages, baked goods, candy and chocolate, and dairy products, and can also be applied to products such as dietary supplements and tablet candies.

Natural source and low calorie

Produced through microbial fermentation, naturally present in fruits (such as melons and grapes) and fermented foods, with calories only about 5% of sucrose, making it an ideal low-calorie sweetener.

Zero glycemic response

It is not metabolized in the body, does not participate in insulin secretion, and does not cause blood glucose fluctuations, making it suitable for diabetic patients, weight-loss populations, and people who need strict blood glucose control.

High tolerance and safety

It is not utilized by oral microorganisms, does not produce acidic substances, and does not cause dental caries. At the same time, it has good intestinal tolerance and is not likely to cause discomfort such as bloating or diarrhea.

Cooling taste and stability

It has a significant cooling sensation in the mouth, can effectively mask undesirable aftertastes, and maintains good stability under high heat and acidic conditions. It is widely used in fields such as beverages, candy, baked goods, dairy products, and personal care products.
