Product Introduction
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener. It provides sweetness similar to sugar but contains significantly fewer calories—about 0.2 calories per gram. Erythritol is naturally present in some fruits and fermented foods, making it a popular choice in health-conscious markets.
Product Manufacturing Process
Erythritol can be produced through fermentation. The process typically involves the fermentation of glucose derived from cornstarch using specific yeast or fungi. During fermentation, the glucose is converted into erythritol. The solution is then purified and crystallized to obtain an end product of high purity suitable for various applications.
Product Applications
Erythritol is widely used in food and beverage formulations as a sugar substitute because it has a clean sweetness without the bitter aftertaste often associated with other sugar alcohols. It is commonly found in sugar-free products such as candies, baked goods, and beverages. Additionally, erythritol is utilized in pharmaceutical products as a filler or sweetener, leveraging its non-cariogenic and low-caloric properties.
