Product Application of Erythritol CAS#149-32-6
Erythritol is a polyol sweetener produced through fermentation of glucose, where the glucose-rich substrate is derived from enzymatic starch hydrolysis. With a sweetness level of 60–70% relative to sugar, it offers exceptional heat and acid stability, high digestive tolerance, and a low caloric value of 0.2 kcal/g. Notably, erythritol is the sole polyol sweetener manufactured via fermentation. Its versatility makes it an ideal sugar substitute for confectionery products, beverages, and desserts.
