Product Introduction
Erythritol, a filled sweetener, is a four-carbon sugar alcohol with the formula C4H10O4. Erythritol is widely present in nature, such as fungi, mushrooms, lichens, melons and fruits, melons, grapes, pears, animal eye crystals, plasma, fetal fluid, semen, urine can also be detected in a small amount in fermented food wine, beer, soy sauce, Japanese sake. Can be made from glucose fermentation, for white crystalline powder, with a refreshing sweet taste, not easy to absorb, stable at high temperature, stable in a wide pH range, when dissolved in the mouth has a mild cool feeling, suitable for a variety of foods

Product Function
1. Lower calorific value
Erythritol is a very low energy sweetener compared to other sweeteners, with a caloric value of about 1.25kJ/g, about 1/10 that of sucrose. This is because this sugar alcohol is not metabolized in the body and 90% is excreted in the urine. Erythritol alone or mixed with other sweeteners can replace sucrose to make a low caloric value health care product, which is suitable for obesity patients, hypertension and cardiovascular patients.
2. No caries
Erythritol has strong anti-caries ability, compared with sucrose, erythritol does not cause caries at all. This is because it is not fermented by pathogens in the mouth to produce acid.
3. Promote bifidobacterium proliferation
The utilization of erythritol to intestinal bacteria was studied using 72 strains of intestinal bacteria from 49 species of 12 genera. The results showed that erythritol was difficult to be utilized by these intestinal bacteria. The short chain fatty acids (acetic acid and lactic acid) produced by bifidobacterium metabolism can effectively inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, thus Improving human immunity.
4. Does not cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels
Erythritol can be absorbed by the small intestine through passive diffusion, and most of the ingested erythritol enters the blood circulation, and only a small amount enters the large intestine. Erythritol that enters the blood cannot be broken down by enzymes in the body and can only be excreted through the kidneys and urine. Erythritol entering the large intestine is difficult to be used by bacteria fermentation, so it does not cause fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin levels in the human body, and can be eaten by diabetic patients.
5. High tolerance, low side effects
A large number of animal and clinical experiments have proved that erythritol is safe and non-toxic, has no teratogenic toxicity, does not cause chromosomal variation, does not affect reproduction and development, is not carcinogenic, and does not stimulate tumor growth. Erythritol is well tolerated by the digestive tract, has no significant impact on the metabolism of diabetic patients, and has no side effects on blood sugar control
Product Application
Erythritol has a wide range of applications in the food industry. It can be used as a sweetener for diabetics and consumers who do not want to eat sugar. It is used in the processing of chocolate, chewing gum, fudge and muffin. In addition to its application in the food industry, erythritol may also be widely used in the organic synthesis sector as a raw material for alkyd resins, polyesters, polyethers, and the production of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases and asthma drugs such as nitroerythritol.
