Erythritol powder is produced by the fermentation of glucose. The upstream raw materials mainly include glucose and corn starch sugar and corn used to produce glucose, as well as auxiliary materials such as ammonium salt and yeast extract. In addition, the price of corn starch sugar in China is relatively stable, and the overall supply is in a state of oversupply. So the cost of raw materials is relatively low, which will help companies in the industry to control costs. The downstream mainly includes the food and beverage industry such as sugar-free beverages, candy chocolate, flavoring sugar, table sugar, etc., and it can also be used in the production of some cosmetics and chemical products. Erythritol has excellent properties such as zero calories, zero sugar, high tolerance, good physical properties, and anti-caries. As a natural sweetener of the biological fermentation method, it is often widely used to promote the concept of "natural" in brand design.
What are the benefits of erythritol?
◆ "Zero sugar" and "Zero calories" means after entering the human body, it does not participate in the metabolism of sugar, and most of it is excreted in urine, and it hardly generates heat and causes blood sugar changes.
◆ "High tolerance" means the sugar alcohol with the highest tolerance to the human body, and its use as a food additive is not restricted.
◆ "Good physical properties" means the use of the characteristics of more dissolution and heat absorption can add a cool taste to the product, and high-temperature resistance makes it stable in the food industry.
◆ "Anti-caries" means not used by oral bacteria, it inhibits the growth of oral bacteria, thereby protecting the teeth.
Application | Table sugar, seasoning sugar, drinks | Confectionery and chocolate food | Baked food | Healthcare products |
KingSci Recommendation | 1. Utilizing its natural, close to zero-calorie, pure taste, it can be eaten directly as table sugar, or it can be added to beverages instead of sucrose.
2. Utilizing its good sweetness coordination characteristics, it can be compounded with high-power sweeteners to effectively solve the problem of high-power sweeteners' bad taste. Using its sweetness of about 70% of sucrose, it can be used as a filler to customize the compound through the ratio. The sweetness of sugar improves the convenience of using compound sugar. | 1. It is compounded with high-strength sweeteners to simulate the flavor of sucrose and greatly reduce calories. 2. Take advantage of its low hygroscopicity to reduce the frosting of the candy and increase the storage period of the candy. 3. Utilizing its multi-dissolving and heat absorption characteristics, it can give the candy a refreshing taste. 4. Utilize its good stability characteristics to reduce the browning or decomposition of traditional sucrose in the process of candy processing. | 1. Using its low energy value, pure sweetness and other characteristics, on the basis of retaining the original flavor and taste, reducing the calorie value is more healthy. 2. Take advantage of its low hygroscopicity to help prevent moisture and extend the shelf life of food. |
2. Using its anti-caries function, it can be made into candies and chewing gum that are beneficial to oral health. |
