Erythritol Powder

Product Description

What Is Erythritol?

Erythritol is an artificial sweetener commonly used in low-sugar and sugar-free foods. It is designed to replace sugar and calories to create “diet-friendly” results. Powdered erythritol sweeteners bake in a way almost identical to sugar and are made by combining and fermenting certain natural sugars. Corn is frequently used to create the sweetener; however, it is also found naturally in watermelon, soy sauce, and pears, among other foods. Such foods include fermented options such as cheese, as well as fermented beverages including wine and sake. It is classified as a carbohydrate according to the FDA and is used not only to add sweetness to foods, but texture and bulk as well. The sweetener also prevents browning and dryness issues.

Despite its carb label, erythritol is not absorbed by the body and will not contribute to weight gain. The sweetening effect this substance provides comes from sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols do not break down in the body and therefore do not contribute to your daily carbohydrate intake.

Uses

Food Industry: Found in sugar-free items like ice cream, gum, candy, cookies, protein bars, and fruit spreads.
Tabletop Sweetener: Used as a direct sugar substitute for coffee, tea, and other beverages.
Other Applications: Also included in some tabletop sweeteners, pharmaceuticals, and dental products.

Benefits of Erythritol

• Dental Health

Erythritol helps prevent cavities and reduces dental plaque by suppressing harmful oral bacteria and their acid production.

• Blood Sugar Management

It has a glycemic index of zero, meaning it does not raise blood glucose or insulin levels, which is beneficial for people with diabetes or those on a low-carb diet.

• Low-Calorie & Weight Management

Erythritol has very few calories, making it a useful sugar substitute for reducing total calorie intake, though the WHO warns against using non-sugar sweeteners for weight control.

• Antioxidant Properties

Erythritol can act as a free radical scavenger, helping to reduce oxidative stress and offering potential cardio-protective benefits, especially in people with type 2 diabetes.

• High Digestive Tolerance

Most of the erythritol is absorbed in the small intestine and excreted in the urine, leading to significantly fewer digestive problems like bloating or gas compared to other sugar alcohols.

• Keto-Friendly

Its lack of carbohydrates and zero glycemic index make it compatible with ketogenic diets.
