Erythritol, is a natural, zero-calorie, sucrose-filled sweetener with a clear sweetness similar to sucrose. It is a low calorie sweetener; a diluent for high intensity sweeteners. It can be obtained by fermentation of glucose. It is a white crystalline powder. Its sweetness is pure and refreshing, and its taste is close to that of sucrose. The sweetness of Erythritol is about 70% of that of sucrose; as it is not hygroscopic, it has good fluidity, is stable at high temperatures, is stable over a wide pH range, has a mild cooling sensation when dissolved in the mouth, and is suitable for a variety of food.
Erythritol has a calorie value of 0 calories/gram and is suitable for a variety of sugar-free and reduced-calorie foods and beverages. Erythritol has a high digestive tolerance and does not cause a glycemic reaction, so it is suitable for diabetics. At the same time, it does not promote the formation of tooth decay, and excessive intake of erythritol will not cause laxative side effects.Erythritol has the characteristics of good thermal stability and low hygroscopicity, and can be operated in an environment above 80 °C to shorten the processing time. This helps to promote the production of flavor. Erythritol can easily replace sucrose in the product, reducing the energy of chocolate by 34%, and giving the product a cool taste and non-cariogenic characteristics. Due to the low hygroscopicity of Erythritol, it also helps to overcome the blooming phenomenon when making chocolate with other sugars. The use of erythritol can produce a variety of candies of good quality, the texture and shelf life of the products are exactly the same as traditional products. Since Erythritol is easily crushed and does not absorb moisture, the prepared candies have good storage stability even under high humidity storage conditions, and are also beneficial to the health of teeth without causing dental caries.
