Product Description
💡
Erythritol Overview: Erythritol is a natural, zero-calorie, filler sweetener that can replace sucrose. It has a clear sweetness similar to sucrose and is widely found in natural plants and animals, such as seaweed, mushrooms, melons, and grapes.
Erythritol is currently the only functional sugar alcohol produced by microbial fermentation in the world. Based on the good health effects and its excellent processing characteristics such as high thermal stability, low hygroscopicity, and low freezing point, its application fields are very wide, covering food, medicine, and chemical industries.
It appears as white powdery crystals, and its aqueous solution is a colorless, non-viscous liquid. It is slightly sweet, with a relative sweetness of 60%-70% of sucrose, providing a cool mouthfeel. It has a low calorific value, only 1/10 of the calorific value of sucrose, and is easy to crystallize.
Chemical Properties
White crystals, slightly sweet, relative sweetness 0.65, refreshing, low calorific value. Melting point 126ºC, boiling point 329~331ºC. Soluble in water (37%, 25ºC). Due to low solubility, it is easy to crystallize.
Production Method
Corn starch is fermented by safe and appropriate edible grade hyperosmophilic yeast (such as Moniliella pllinis or Candida lipolytica) at high concentration. The fermented mash is sterilized by heating and filtered, then purified by ion exchange resin, activated carbon, and ultrafiltration, followed by crystallization, washing, and drying. The general yield is about 50%.
Industrial Processing
Production is based on corn deep processing, focused on biotechnology through professional management and innovation. Using science and technology to process corn, creating high-quality sweeteners for a better life.
