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.
Microbial FermentationErythritol 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.
Chemical PropertiesWhite crystals, slightly sweet, relative sweetness 0.65, refreshing, low calorific value, about one tenth of the calorific value of sucrose. Melting point 126ºC, boiling point 329~331ºC. Soluble in water (37%, 25ºC). Due to low solubility, it is easy to crystallize.
Production MethodCorn starch is fermented by safe and appropriate edible grade hyperosmophilic yeast at high concentration (>450g/L), the fermented mash is sterilized by heating and filtered, then purified by ion exchange resin, activated carbon and ultrafiltration, crystallized, washed and dried.
