Molecular weight: 122.12
Melting point: 118-120 °C
Boiling point: 329-331 °C
Sweetness: 65% to 80% of sucrose
Solubility: Soluble in water (37%, 25°C) Low calorific value, about one-tenth of sucrose calorific value, with a cool feeling

Functional Characteristics of Erythritol
1. Erythritol extremely low calorific value, energy is only 0.2kcal/g~0.4kcal/g, only 10% of sucrose energy.
2. Unique metabolism, low GI, erythritol’s glycemic index and insulin index are both 0.2, so erythritol has almost no effect on blood sugar.
3. Good sweetness characteristics, very close to the sweetness characteristics of sucrose, no bad aftertaste.
4. Non-hygroscopic, even at 90% air humidity will not absorb moisture, placed in 20℃, 90% humidity environment for 5 days, its weight increase is less than 2%.
5. The heat of dissolution is very high, -96.86kJ/kg, which is 3 times that of glucose. When 10g erythritol is dissolved in 90g water, the temperature drops by about 4.5 degrees and the entrance is cool.
6. High tolerance, erythritol tolerance is 2-3 times that of xylitol, lactitol, maltitol and isomalt, 3-4 times that of sorbitol and mannitol, and the maximum tolerance of normal body is 50g/d.
7. Not used by mutant streptococci and does not cause dental caries.
8. Antioxidant, very stable to heat and acid, almost no browning or decomposition under normal processing conditions.
Product Applications of Erythritol
Erythritol as a natural sweetener, is widely used in many fields due to its low calories, no blood sugar increase, and tooth-friendly properties.
Application in food and beverages
1. Erythritol is used in calorie-controlled refreshing drinks, beauty drinks, and health drinks
2. Erythritol and other sweeteners can be used in combination to significantly suppress the bitter aftertaste of high-intensity sweeteners, producing a taste similar to sucrose and a real sweetness.
3. Powdered beverages can suppress the bitter taste of coffee and black tea, reduce calories, and have extremely low hygroscopicity, which does not affect and prolongs the shelf life of these beverages.
4. Erythritol can mask and improve the unpleasant taste of vegetable juice, vitamins and important extracts added to nutritional beverages.
5. In alcoholic beverages, erythritol can promote ethanol hydration at a lower concentration, so it can alleviate the stimulating effect of ethanol.
6. As a low-calorie sweetener, it is widely used in chocolate, chewing gum, candy, cakes, jelly, yogurt, a variety of dairy products, sugar-free milk powder and special foods for people who require sugar control.
Application in medicine and health products
1. Lozenges and chewable tablets for medicine and health products:
Erythritol has good processing characteristics and is easy to be pressed into tablets; during the processing, it can be directly pressed or granulated. Erythritol does not absorb moisture, has a cool taste, and is not easily used by microorganisms. It can not only relieve packaging pressure and adopt different packaging forms according to market needs, but also bring pleasant taste and healthy functional characteristics to the product.
2. Effervescent tablets
Effervescent tablets with erythritol as the effective ingredient are made based on the excellent efficacy of erythritol, and have good sensory, bioavailability, storage, use, and convenience. Effervescent tablets can be developed in the form of ordinary food, health care products or medicines; they can also be made into effervescent tablets, effervescent granules and dry tablets; erythritol has excellent compressibility, fluidity, sweetener properties, solubility and stability, so it can be directly compressed without adding sweeteners, fillers, adhesives and other excipients. In this way, the effervescent tablets have high effective ingredient content, good taste, good solubility, high solution clarity and extremely low hygroscopicity. Erythritol can absorb heat when dissolved in water and has a pleasant and refreshing taste.
3. Coating products
Erythritol is used as the raw material to prepare the coating, which is coated with ordinary food, health care products and medicines. Its characteristics include refreshing taste, good palatability, low calories, no moisture absorption, extended product shelf life and easy storage.
4. Coated products
Erythritol used for some coated foods, health care products and tablets that are easy to absorb moisture, which can not only prevent moisture but also extend the shelf life of the product.
