Erythritol is a kind of filling sweetener, a four-carbon sugar alcohol that widely exists in nature. It can be made by glucose fermentation. As a white crystalline powder with a refreshing sweet taste, it is not easily absorbed, stays stable at high temperatures and across a wide range of pH. When dissolved in the mouth, it has a mild cool feeling, making it suitable for a variety of food applications.
🥤 Beverage Industry
Erythritol has been used in the development of new zero-calorie and low-calorie beverages in recent years. It can increase the sweetness, weight, and lubrication of the drink while reducing bitterness, masking other odors, and enhancing the flavor. Erythritol is also used in refreshing solid drinks because it absorbs a lot of heat as it dissolves.
🍬 Confectionery Industry
Erythritol fits the requirements for functional ingredients perfectly, providing the same taste as table sugar. Without strong sweeteners like aspartame, candies made from erythritol have a cooler taste than other "non-table sugar" alternatives. Its sweetness is pure without undesirable aftertaste. Furthermore, the combination of erythritol and other sugar alcohols can increase the tolerable dose to reduce risks associated with unilateral use.
