Information
Erythritol is a polyol (sugar alcohol) that occurs naturally in certain fruits, such as pears, melons and grapes, as well as in other foods such as mushrooms and foods derived from fermentation, such as wine, soy sauce and cheese.
It is a white crystalline powder with a sweet, clean taste similar to sucrose.
It has a sweetness level of approximately 70% of that of sucrose and flows easily due to its non-hygroscopic nature.
Erythritol’s caloric value of zero calories per gram and its high tolerance to digestion distinguish it from other polyols.
Since erythritol is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine and rapidly eliminated by the body within 24 hours, the laxative side effects sometimes associated with excessive consumption of polyols are unlikely with erythritol-containing foods.
Since 1990, erythritol has been produced commercially and added to foods and beverages to sweeten them and improve their taste and texture.
