Key Specifications at a Glance

Erythritol is a four-carbon sugar alcohol naturally found in fruits such as grapes and pears. It has been used as a low-calorie sweetener for decades, prized for its clean taste and metabolic neutrality.

Sweetness (vs. Sucrose)	60–70%
Caloric Value	0.2 kcal/g (effectively zero)
Glycemic Index (GI)	0
Solubility in Water (20 °C)	~37 g/100 mL
Taste Profile	Cool, clean, no bitter aftertaste

Understanding the Parameters

Sweetness Ratio

At roughly 70% the sweetness of table sugar, erythritol delivers a familiar sweetness without the caloric burden. Many formulators blend it with high-intensity sweeteners such as stevia to bridge the gap and achieve a 1:1 sugar replacement ratio.

Zero Glycemic Impact

Because over 90% of ingested erythritol is absorbed in the small intestine and excreted unchanged in urine, it never reaches the colon where fermentation would occur. The result: a GI of exactly 0 and no insulin spike, making it an ideal sweetener for diabetic and ketogenic diets.

Tooth-Friendly Certification

Unlike sucrose and many other sweeteners, erythritol is non-cariogenic. Oral bacteria cannot metabolize it, so it does not contribute to enamel erosion or cavity formation. It has received FDA recognition as a tooth-friendly ingredient.

Application Scenarios

Erythritol crystals dissolve readily in beverages, bake well into cookies and cakes (with a mild cooling sensation on the palate), and serve as the base ingredient in many commercial sugar-free and keto product lines. Its heat stability up to 160 °C makes it suitable for cooking and baking applications.

Quality Assurance

Our erythritol is produced through natural fermentation of non-GMO corn glucose, meeting FCC, USP, and Halal certification standards. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for purity, heavy metals, and microbial limits to ensure consistent quality for food and beverage manufacturers.
