Erythritol powder is a plant sugar with white, colorless, or light yellow crystals. Its characteristics make it very suitable for use as a sweetener in fruit juice. It contains glycogen and fructose, is colorless, transparent, and non-irritating, has a sweet taste, is not greasy, and has good hydrolysis properties. It is extremely useful as an ingredient in beverages and foods.
Erythritol has moderate sweetness and low calories. Its sweetness is about 60%-80% of sucrose, with pure sweetness and no aftertaste. It can be used in combination with high-intensity sweeteners to suppress its unpleasant flavor.
Erythritol is not metabolized in the body, and about 90% is excreted in the urine. Its calorific value is extremely low, about 1.25kJ/g, which is about one-tenth of sucrose.

Functions
1. Low energy value
Erythritol is a small molecular substance with a molecular weight of only 122, which is the smallest among various sugar alcohols. After entering the human body, it is easily absorbed by the small intestine, and most of it enters the human blood circulation. Due to its unique metabolic properties, it is directly excreted in the urine without being metabolized, which determines the low energy value of erythritol, and the maximum energy produced is only 0.2kcal/g.
2. High tolerance, high safety
Bulk Erythritol is the most tolerated compared to other sugar alcohol sweeteners, 2-3 times more tolerated than xylitol, lactitol, maltitol, and isomalt.

3. Does not cause blood sugar fluctuations
90% of the absorption of erythritol powder bulk is directly excreted through urine, so it does not affect the fluctuation of glucose and insulin in plasma, making erythritol a sweetener suitable for diabetics.
4. Caries resistance
Oral microorganisms represented by Streptococcus mutans cannot rely on erythritol for growth and reproduction, nor can they produce organic acids to reduce the pH of the plaque surface. Therefore, erythritol does not cause dental caries and can inhibit the fermentation of certain sugars by oral microorganisms.
Application Fields
Our Erythritol power plays an important role in food and beverage ingredients and can be used as an additive in products such as light wine, juice, ice cream, candy, jelly, dairy products, cakes, condiments, etc.
Due to its good physical and chemical properties, erythritol can also be used in the production of spices and preservatives, and can also be used as a soluble adjunct for low-calorie, low-sugar foods, and beverages, and as an adjuvant to replace traditional white sugar.
