Application Advantages of Erythritol Sweetener in Food

In recent years, with the change of consumers' concept of healthy eating, most consumers prefer light foods that are beneficial to health when choosing food, that is, foods with heat control, low salt, low cholesterol, low sugar, and rich dietary fiber.

The existing bland food ingredients still have many deficiencies: limited calorific value reduction, poor solubility, abnormal taste, poor shelf life, and poor texture and filling. However, functional sweeteners with erythritol have great advantages to make up for the above deficiencies, and have opened up broad development prospects for their wide application in food.

Sweeteners with erythritol is a natural four-carbon sugar alcohol and the only one produced by fermentation of all polysaccharide alcohols. Erythritol sweetener is a unique low-calorie sweetener that has great potential for application in modern food, and its properties make it particularly suitable for some applications that require a high proportion of powdered or crystalline substances. situation, which is beyond the reach of other low-calorie sweeteners.

1. The superior properties of sweeteners with erythritol

(1) Very low-calorie value, known as "0" calorie value ingredients (applicable to almost all low-calorie value foods).

(2) Excellent taste characteristics (soft sweetness, cool taste).

(3)Good oral tolerance (not easy to cause physiological diarrhoea).

(4) Does not affect blood sugar and plasma insulin concentration (suitable for diabetics).

(5) Does not cause dental caries (suitable for processing "good teeth" products).

(6) Good food processing performance (can easily replace sucrose).

Erythritol sweeteners produced by erythritol manufacturers are sugar alcohol products with the lowest energy value. Sweeteners with erythritol are used in various foods to minimize the calorific value of foods. Erythritol sweeteners are used in baking. In food and confectionary applications, the calorific value reduction after replacing sucrose is to the greatest extent technically possible.

2. The biggest advantage of sweeteners with erythritol in food

(1) It is beneficial to reduce the calorie value of carbohydrate-based foods.

(2) It can improve the human body's tolerance to low-calorie food because it has no side effects and is better than other low-calorie ingredients.

(3) It can provide a new way to improve food taste and structural quality, and can also improve the storage stability of low-calorie food.
