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. It also exists in human eyeballs, serum, and semen. Fermented foods such as wine, beer, and soy sauce also contain erythritol, but the content is very small.
Erythritol is currently the only functional sugar alcohol produced by microbial fermentation in the world. Based on the good health effects of erythritol and its excellent processing characteristics such as high thermal stability, low hygroscopicity, and low freezing point, its application fields are very wide, such as food, medicine, chemical industry, and many other aspects.
Erythritol has the appearance of 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, and has a cool feeling. It has a low calorific value, only 1/10 of the calorific value of sucrose, and is easy to crystallize.
