Product Description

Natural sweetener food additive erythritol

 

Product Description

Erythritol (1,2,3,4-butanetetrol) is a four-carbon sugar alcohol with sweetening properties that is used by the food industry as a food additive . Erythritol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in fruit and fermented foods. Erythritol has about 0.2 calories per gram and is about 60% to 80% as sweet as sugar. By comparison, there are 4 calories per gram of sugar. And unlike sugar, sugar alcohols like Erythritol does not react with plaque bacteria in your mouth and does not cause tooth cavities.

Erythritol has also been shown to have an antioxidant in the body and may help protect against hyperglycemia-induced vascular damage. Hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and the onset and progression of diabetic complications are strongly linked. Reduction of oxidative stress could be of utmost importance in the long-term treatment of diabetic patients.

Erythritol is primarily used in chewing gums, baked foods and beverages, as well as occurring in fruits such as pear, watermelon and grapes. Sugar alcohols differ from artificial sweeteners because they are exist naturally through plants. Erythritol manufacturers create the sweetener in granulated and powdered forms. Erythritol appears as a white crystalline, odorless product which rapidly dissolves in water (up to 60 g/100 ml at 30°C) to give a brilliantly clear, low viscosity, colorless solution.

Erythritol is the first polyol to be industrially manufactured from corn and wheat starch by a fermentation process. The starting material is a simple sugar-rich substrate which is fermented using a yeast (either Moniliella pollinis or Trichosporonoides megachliensis) to yield erythritol. The product is then crystalized to 99.5% purity from the filtered and concentrated fermentation broth.

Function& Application

Application of Erythritol:

Erythritol used in Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Health & Personal care products, Agriculture/Animal Feed/Poultry. Erythritol is used as a natural sweetener, erythritol is about 60 - 80% as sweet as sucrose (sugar). The application of Erythritol such as in candies, chewing gum, chocolates, yogurts, fillings, jellies, jams, beverages, and a sugar substitute.

 

As a sugar alcohol, erythritol has been approved for use as a food additive in the United States and in many other countries. Other sugar alcohols you may have heard of include xylitol, maltitol, sorbitol and lactitol.

 

In Food

Erythritol is used in food as sugar substitute in Milk, Yogurt, Ice cream, Cheese, Cakes, Biscuits, Pastries, Chewing gum, Hard candies, Soft candies, Jelly, Protein powder, Chewable Tablets, Oral liquid.

 

In Beverages

Erythritol is used in diet soft drinks, flavored waters and milks, sports drinks, smoothies, iced teas, frozen beverages and soy-based beverages. Carbonated beverage, Non-carbonated beverage, Dairy drinks.

 

In Pharmaceutical

Erythritol is used in Solid dosage forms: Tablets, Coating agent, Lozenges, Diluent in wet granulation; Liquid dosage forms; Medicated confectionery, Medicated chewing gum in pharmaceutical.

 

In Health and Personal care

Erythritol is used in Colour Cosmetics, Deodorants, Hair Care, Oral Care, Skin Care, Soap and Bath Products

 

In Agriculture/Animal Feed/Poultry

Erythritol can be used in animal feed/poultry feed.

 

In Other Industries

Erythritol can be used in Detergents.

 

Functions of Erythritol:

1	The calorific value is low. The caloric coefficient is 1 / 15 of xylitol and 1 / 20 of sucrose. It is recognized as "0" in most countries. Human intake does not increase fat.
2	It has high biological tolerance and is the most tolerant product among all sugar alcohols.
3	Pure sweet taste, cool taste, does not cause dental caries.
4	It does not participate in glucose metabolism and does not affect the change of blood glucose.

Compared with xylitol, erythritol has the following advantages

1. Erythritol is a natural zero-calorie sweetener, and xylitol has calories.
2. Erythritol has a higher tolerance than xylitol. All sugar alcohols will have diarrhea if you eat too much, and there is a tolerable problem, and erythritol is the highest tolerated by the human body.
3. The average glycemic index of erythritol is lower than that of xylitol. Therefore, erythritol has a smaller effect on blood sugar and also has antioxidant activity.
4. Many sugar alcohols feel refreshing when they are eaten. This cooling sensation comes from the heat of dissolution and absorption. 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 among all sugar alcohols to be produced by fermentation, which is closer to natural conversion and extraction. Other sugar alcohols are produced by hydrogenation, so the production process is different.
6. Erythritol is basically non-hygroscopic, and other sugar alcohols have varying degrees of hygroscopicity. The non-hygroscopicity increases the application field.
7. Xylitol is mainly used in the field of confectionery and medicine in Europe. Although xylitol is added in appropriate amounts in FDA and European regulations, excessive human intake can cause symptoms such as elevated blood sugar and diarrhea.
