Can Erythritol Be Claimed as a Zero-Calorie Sugar?
What is erythritol?
Answer: Erythritol is a four-carbon sugar alcohol, sugar-free sweetener, with a molecular formula of C4H10O4. It is a type of sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohol is hydrogenated sugar. Erythritol is widely distributed in nature. Industrially produced erythritol is mostly obtained from glucose by enzymatic fermentation. It is a white crystalline powder with a refreshing sweet taste, not easy to absorb moisture, stable at high temperatures, and tolerant of a wide range of pH. When dissolved in the mouth, it has a mild cool feeling and is suitable for a variety of foods.
What are the applications of erythritol in food?
Answer: Erythritol is a diluent for low-calorie and high-sweetness sweeteners. It can be used in chocolate, baked goods, candy, table sugar, soft drinks, and other foods, with a maximum use of 3%.
What are the functions of erythritol?
Answer:
(1) Low calorie: Erythritol has a low calorie content, with an energy value of 1.65kJ/g, while sucrose is 16.7kJ/g, xylitol is 11.7kJ/g, and erythritol is the lowest energy sugar alcohol, with a calorie of 0.
(2) High tolerance: The tolerance of the human body to erythritol: 0.66 for men and 0.8 for women per kilogram of body weight, higher than xylitol, lactitol, and maltitol. The main reason is that erythritol has a small molecular weight and is absorbed less. It is mainly excreted in urine, thereby avoiding high osmotic pressure causing diarrhea and avoiding intestinal fermentation of bacteria to produce bloating.
(3) Anti-caries: Erythritol is not used by oral bacteria in the human body, so it does not produce acidic substances that harm teeth, causing tooth decay. It inhibits the growth of oral bacteria and protects teeth.
Can erythritol claim to be 0 calories and 0 sugar?
Answer: If erythritol is consumed alone, it can be claimed as 0 calories and 0 sugar. However, if erythritol is used in combination with other substances, the nutritional composition of the food should be carefully examined. Whether the carbohydrate content is zero and whether the calorie content is zero, etc. If there is any, it cannot be claimed as 0 calories and 0 sugar.
