CAS 149-32-6 Natural Sweetener Erythritol for Food and Beverage

What is Erythritol?
Erythritol, a filler sweetener, is a tetra-carbon sugar alcohol with the molecular formula C4H10O4. Erythritol is widely found in nature, such as fungi, mushrooms, lichen, melons, grapes, pears, a small amount of animal eye lens, plasma, fetal fluid, semen, and urine, and a small amount of fermented food wine, beer, soy sauce, and Japanese sake. [1] can be made by the fermentation of glucose, white crystalline powder, with a sweet and refreshing, not easy absorption, high temperature stability, stable in a wide pH range, dissolve in the mouth with a mild cool feeling, suitable for a variety of food.

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that can be used as a sugar substitute in various food formulations. With only 0.2 calories per gram of erythritol compared to 4 calories per gram of sucrose, erythritol can help food and beverage manufacturers limit calories and added sugars in their products.
Characteristic:
1. Low sweetness: the sweetness of erythritol is only 60%-70% of sucrose, the mouth has a cool taste, pure taste, no bitterness after the taste, can be combined with high sweetener can inhibit the bad flavor of high sweetener.
2. High stability: acid, heat is very stable, acid and alkali resistance are very high, under the temperature of 200ºC will not occur decomposition and change, will not occur Maillard reaction and discoloration.
3. High heat of dissolution: erythritol dissolved in water has an heat-absorbing effect, and the heat of dissolution is only 97.4kJ/kg, which is higher than the heat absorption of glucose and sorbitol, and has a cool feeling when eating.
4. Solubility: the solubility of erythritol at 25ºC is 37% (W/W). Erythritol solubility increases with the increase of temperature, and it is not easy to crystallizate and precipitate crystals.
5. Low hygroscopicity, erythritol, sugar alcohol is very easy to crystallization, but none in 90% humidity environment moisture absorption, easy to crush get powder products, can be used for sour food surface to prevent moisture absorption.

Application of Erythritol:
Food manufacturers can successfully use erythritol to replace sugar in a variety of applications, including frozen desserts such as ice cream, baked desserts, canned fruits, cookies, crackers, table top sweeteners, beverages, and sauces.
This sugar substitute has become a major ingredient in low - and sugar-free foods, driven in key ways by consumers with health conditions such as diabetes and obesity. Erythritol, sugar alcohol can not only meet the demand of people's health, also can achieve as a pleasant taste and sugar.
The application areas of erythritol is very extensive, especially in the food industry as a low-calorie sweetener and high sweetness sweetening diluent, widely used in candy chocolate (including food), milk, beverages, baked goods, soft drinks, etc., the largest use of 3%.
1. Erythritol can be used as a substitute for granulated sugar in confectionery formulations, which can not only significantly reduce calories, but also improve the digestive tolerance, flavor, morphology and storage stability of low-calorie confectionery products.
2.Erythritol has the characteristics of low melting point and low moisture absorption, which can be used in baked foods to prevent moisture and prolong the shelf life of food.
3.Erythritol is not easy by enzyme degradation, is not involved in glucose metabolism, does not lead to blood sugar change characteristics, suitable for the application of the diabetes health food; It was made into a health food with low energy value instead of sucrose, suitable for obese people, hypertensive patients and cardiovascular patients. It is suitable for people with gastrointestinal dysfunction because of its metabolic characteristics in the intestine after consumption. Use of anti caries function, can be made into candy and gum is good for your oral health
