• Detailed Description:

  Cas No. :149-32-6 Erythritol is a good-tasting bulk
  sweetener which is suitable for a
  variety of reduced- calorie and
  sugar-free foods. It has been part
  of the human diet for thousands of
  years due to its presence in
  fruits and other foods. Erythritol
  has a high digestive tolerance, is
  safe For people with diabetes, and
  does not promote tooth decay.
  Erythritol, a polyol (sugar
  alcohol), is currently used as a
  bulk sweetener in reduced calorie
  foods. It has been part of the
  human diet for thousands of years
  as it is present in fruits such as
  pears, melons and grapes, as well
  as foods such as mushrooms and
  fermentation-derived foods such as
  wine, soy sauce and cheese. Since
  1990, erythritol has been
  commercially produced and added to
  foods and beverages to provide
  sweetness, as well as enhance
  their taste and texture.
  Erythritol is available in the
  U.S. from Cerestar USA and Cargill
  Inc. - Corn Milling Division.
  Erythritol is a white
  crystalline powder that is
  odorless, with a clean sweet taste
  that is similar to sucrose. It is
  approximately 70% as sweet as
  sucrose and flows easily due to
  its non-hygroscopic character.
  Like other polyols, erythritol
  does not promote tooth decay and
  is safe for people with diabetes.
  However, erythritol’s caloric
  value of 0.2 calories per gram and
  high digestive tolerance
  distinguishes it from some other
  polyols. It has approximately 7 to
  13% the calories of other polyols
  and 5% the calories of sucrose.
  Because erythritol is rapidly
  absorbed in the small intestine
  and rapidly eliminated by the body
  within 24 hours, laxative side
  effects sometimes associated with
  excessive polyol consumption are
  unlikely when consuming erythritol
  containing foods.
  A GRAS (Generally Recognized As
  Safe) affirmation petition
  submitted by a consortium of
  erythritol manufacturers (Cerestar
  Holding B.V., Mitsubishi Chemical
  Corporation and Nikken Chemicals
  Co.) was accepted for filing by
  the U.S. Food and Drug
  Administration on January 15,
  1997. This allows manufacturers to
  produce and sell erythritol
  containing foods in the United
  States. Erythritol is regulated as
  a direct food ingredient in Japan
  and since 1990 it has been used in
  many Japanese food categories.
  Benefits of Erythritol
  Low in calories: Erythritol has
  a very low caloric content; its
  value is 0.2 calories per gram for
  food labeling purposes in the
  United States and 0 (zero)
  calories per gram for food
  labeling purposes in Japan. This
  very low calorie value is due to
  erythritol’s unique absorption and
  elimination process which does not
  require the metabolism of
  erythritol. Thus, erythritol is
  uniquely qualified as a very low
  calorie bulk sweetener for
  formulating “light” and “reduced
  calorie” products which require a
  25% or more calorie reduction from
  the standard formulation.
  High digestive tolerance:
  Erythritol is rapidly absorbed in
  the small intestine due to its
  small molecular size and
  structure. Several clinical
  studies conducted in Europe and
  Japan have shown that more than
  90% of ingested erythritol is
  absorbed and excreted unchanged in
  urine within a 24-hour period.
  This digestive pathway allows less
  than 5% of ingested erythritol to
  reach the large intestine and be
  fermented into volatile fatty
  acids or metabolized into carbon
  dioxide. As a result, foods
  containing substantial amounts of
  erythritol are very unlikely to
  cause gaseous and laxation side
  effects. A recent clinical study
  concluded daily consumption of 1
  gram per kilogram body weight is
  well tolerated by adults as
  compared to sucrose containing
  foods.
  Safe for people with diabetes:
  Single dose and 14-day clinical
  studies demonstrate erythritol
  does not affect blood serum
  glucose or insulin levels.
  Clinical studies conducted in
  people with diabetes conclude that
  erythritol may be safely used to
  replace sucrose in foods
  formulated specifically for people
  with diabetes. Of course, those
  with diabetes should consider the
  impact on their diet of other
  ingredients used in foods
  sweetened with erythritol.
  Does not cause tooth decay:
  Erythritol like other polyols is
  resistant to metabolism by oral
  bacteria which break down sugars
  and starches to produce acids
  which may lead to tooth enamel
  loss and cavities formation. They
  are, therefore, non-cariogenic.
  The usefulness of polyols,
  including erythritol, as
  alternatives to sugars and as part
  of a comprehensive program
  including proper dental hygiene
  has been recognized by the
  American Dental Association. The
  FDA has approved the use of
  a "does not promote tooth decay"
  health claim in labeling for sugar-
  free foods that contain erythritol
  or other polyols.
