| introduction | Erythritol, also known as phycite, is a natural, low-calorie, filling sweetener that can replace sucrose. It has a clear sweet taste similar to sucrose. It is widely found in natural animals and plants, such as seaweed, mushrooms, melons,grapes, as well as in human eyeballs, serum, semen. Erythritol is also found in fermented food wine, beer and soy sauce, but in small amounts.Erythritol is the functional sugar alcohol produced by microbial fermentation. Based on its good health effect, high thermal stabilíty,low moisture absorption, low freezing point and excellent processing characteristics,erythritol is widely used in many fields, such as food,medicine, chemical industry and so on. |
| product characteristics | Erythritol appears as a white powder crystal,and the aqueous solution is a colorless, non-viscous liquid.Slightly sweet, relative to sucrose sweetness of 70%-80%,cool feeling, low calorific value, only 1/10 of sucrose calorific value, easily crystallized. Its chemical properties are similar to other polyols, do not contain reducing aldehyde group, stable to heat and acid (applicable to PH2-12), compared with Sorbitol, Mannitol,Xylitol and other sugar alcohols, molecular weight is lower,solution osmotic pressure is high. Erythritol is very similar to sucrose in sweetness, refreshing and without aftertaste. Mixed with other sweeteners such as aspartame, cysmate, sucralose and so on, it not only has the advantages of improving and coordinating taste quality but also synergistic |
| physicochemical properties | High stability, low hygroscopicity, good crystallinity, high melting heat, low water activity, high osmotic pressure. |
| physiological characteristics | Unique metabolism, low calorific value, high tolerance,little side effects |
| food fields | Candy,chocolate, baked goods, beverages, health food |
| the field of medicine and health products | In the pharmaceutical and health products industry,erythritol can be used as an orthodontic agent for solid preparations and an excipient agent fortablets.It can be made into coating, tablet excipients, powders,granules, capsules,etc. |
