Product Details

Both erythritol and steviol glycosides are low-calorie natural sweeteners, commonly used in sugar substitutes and sweetness enhancers. Erythritol is a polyol produced by the fermentation of Pseudomonas fluorescens. It has a sweet taste and a calorific value lower than that of sucrose. Steviol glycoside is a kind of herbal sweetener extracted from the leaves of stevia plants, with lower calorific value and almost zero of erythritol. Both sweeteners are frequently used in products such as food, beverages and chewing gum.

 

Features of Erythritol

â‘  Energy-free, sugar-free and fat-free.

â‘¡ It is not involved in human sugar metabolism and will not cause changes in blood sugar and plasma insulin level.

â‘¢ It is not cariogenic because it cannot be used by oral streptococci.

④ With a high browning resistance temperature, it won’t brown even at 160℃.

⑤ It cannot be used by microbes because of its non-fermentability. This effectively extends its shelf life.

â‘¥ It tastes cool because of high heat absorption by dissolution.

⑦ With low hygroscopicity, it won't absorb moisture even the relative humidity is 90%.

 

 

Erythritol adapted to the crowd

Erythritol is a low-calorie sugar alcohol sweetener that is often added to sugar-free foods and beverages to provide sweetness.
