- Erythritol is a sugar
alcohol, but it is neither a sugar nor an alcohol
-
Sugar alcohols are the common
name for a class of food ingredients like sorbitol, maltitol,
isomalt & erythritol
- Erythritol is a natural
compound of great interest in food production because of its very low
caloric value, lack of off-taste and lack of side-effects from the
gastric system
-
Erythritol can be produced
from a variety of carbohydrate sources such as sugar beets , corn or
wheat starch. The carbohydrate is mixed with water and fermented with a
natural culture. It is then filtered, crystallized and dried resulting
in a final product that's at least 99.5% pure.
-
Erythritol is produced by the
enzymatic hydrolysis of starch into glucose, which is on its turn
fermented into erythritol
-
Under U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) labeling requirements, it has a caloric value of
0.2 kilocalories per gram 95% less than sugar and other carbohydrates,
though nutritional labeling varies from country to country. Some
countries like Japan label it as zero-calorie, while European Union
regulations
currently label it and all other sugar alcohols at 2.4 kcal/g. |
