Product Description
Erythritol, a bulk sweetener, is a four-carbon sugar alcohol with a molecular formula of C4H10O4. Erythritol is widely found in nature, such as fungi mushrooms, lichens, melons and fruits, grapes, pears, eye lens, plasma, fetal fluid, semen, and urine of animals. It can also be detected in small amounts in fermented foods. It is also present in small amounts in wine, beer, soy sauce, and sake. It can be obtained by fermentation of glucose. It is a white crystalline powder with a refreshing sweet taste, not easy to absorb moisture, stable at high temperature, stable in a wide pH range, and has a mild cool feeling when dissolved in the mouth. It is suitable for a variety of foods.

Nutritional characteristic
Unique Metabolism & “0” Calorie
Erythritol has smaller molecular weight than maltitol, sorbitol and xylitol. It is easily absorbed in the small intestine, and most of it can enter the blood circulation. However, because lack of the enzyme system that can metabolizes erythritol, the erythritol that enters the blood cannot be digested and degraded, and can only be excreted from the urine through the kidneys,which determines the low caloric value of erythritol.

High tolerance & low side effects
small intestine, and the rest enters the large intestine, and it is difficult to be fermented by bacteria. So it will not cause side effects such as diarrhea and flatulence that may be caused by non-absorbed substances, and solved food consumption problem of other sugar alcohol products.
Comparison of human tolerance to different sugar alcohols
Adaptability to diabetic
Since the human body lacks the enzyme system that metabolizes erythritol, most of the erythritol that enters the body is excreted in the urine, and its metabolic pathway has nothing to do with insulin or rarely depends on insulin, so it has no effect on sugar metabolism.
· Natural raw materials and fermentation process;
· The taste is clean, similar to sucrose;
· Cooling sensation in the mouth, no bitterness afterwards;
· Has good crystallinity, weak hygroscopicity, easy to Crush to make powdered products;
· Works well with high intensity sweeteners, the compatibility effect makes its actual sweetness far exceed expectations,
can conceal off-flavors and obtain the best sweetness harmony;
· Has very stable acid and alkali resistance, strong heat resistance, and no Maillard reaction;
· Extend the shelf life stability.
1. Make the label cleaner:concise,easy to understand;
2. Diabetes friendly;
3. Extend shelf life collaborativel;
4. Provide better taste and good mouthfeel;
5. Reduce calories and improve nutrition information sheet.
1. Erythritol is a natural zero-calorie sweetener, and xylitol has calories.
2. The tolerance of erythritol is higher than that of xylitol. All sugar alcohols will cause diarrhea if they are eaten too much, and there is a problem of tolerance, and erythritol is the highest tolerated by the human body.
3. The average glycemic index and average insulin index of erythritol are lower than xylitol, so erythritol has less effect on blood sugar and also has antioxidant activity.
4. Many sugar alcohols will feel cool when eating. This cool feeling comes from dissolving and absorbing heat. When dissolving, it will absorb your heat, so we feel cool. The degree of cooling sensation of each product is expressed by the coefficient of heat of dissolution and absorption. Erythritol has the highest heat of dissolution and absorption, and its cooling sensation is the highest.
5. In terms of production process, erythritol is the only one produced by fermentation method among all sugar alcohols, and fermentation method is closer to natural transformation and extraction. Other sugar alcohols are produced by hydrogenation, so the production process is different.
6. Erythritol is basically not hygroscopic, and other sugar alcohols have different degrees of hygroscopicity, which increases the application field without hygroscopicity.
7. Xylitol is mainly used in the field of candy and medicine in Europe. Although xylitol is added in an appropriate amount in FDA and European regulations, excessive intake of xylitol will cause symptoms such as elevated blood sugar and diarrhea.
