Natural Erythritol

Product Introduction

Erythritol is refined using natural microbial fermentation, belonging to the category of natural-source four-carbon sugar alcohol sweeteners. Its sweetness is approximately 60-70% that of sucrose, offering a clean, pure taste without any undesirable bitter or metallic aftertaste. Metabolically, thanks to its small molecular size, erythritol is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine, with over 90% excreted unchanged in the urine without being metabolized for energy. The remainder reaching the large intestine is not fermented by gut microbiota. Consequently, it is very low in calories, has a glycemic index (GI) of zero, making it highly suitable for long-term consumption by diabetics, individuals managing their weight, and health-conscious consumers.

In terms of physicochemical properties, erythritol possesses excellent thermal and chemical stability. It maintains its structure and sweetness without loss across a broad pH range of 2-10 and at processing temperatures up to 180°C, making it widely applicable in various food processing scenarios such as baked goods, high-temperature sterilized products, and acidic beverages. Furthermore, erythritol's unique molecular characteristics, derived from the natural fermentation process, not only provide a natural, pure sweetness that effectively enhances the taste acceptability of products like toothpaste and mouthwash but also deliver a cooling sensation through endothermic dissolution. Being non-cariogenic, it perfectly balances the dual needs of "sweet taste enjoyment" and "oral health."

 Product Applications

1. Oral Care Products

    In products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, and oral sprays, erythritol serves as an ideal functional sweetener due to its non-cariogenic nature and cooling effect. It not only provides pure sweetness to improve product taste but also helps reduce plaque adhesion and lower the risk of dental caries. The cooling sensation generated upon dissolution enhances the oral freshness experience and helps mask undesirable tastes of certain active ingredients (e.g., stannous chloride, fluoride), improving user comfort. Additionally, erythritol has good water solubility and stability, allowing for easy and even dispersion in various oral care formulations without affecting product appearance or shelf life.

2. Functional Gel Foods

    Erythritol is widely used as a sweetener and texture modifier in gel foods like energy gels, jellies, and puddings. Its low hygroscopicity helps maintain the stability of the gel system, preventing syneresis (water separation) or texture softening, thereby extending shelf life. Its rapid dissolution ensures quick release of sweetness and works synergistically with gelling agents (e.g., carrageenan, gellan gum) to impart a refreshing taste and appropriate sweetness level. In energy gels, its low glycemic response is particularly suitable for athletes and fitness enthusiasts to replenish energy quickly before and after exercise without causing blood sugar spikes.

3. Pet Food

    In dry/wet pet food, snacks, and nutritional supplements, erythritol acts as a safe palatability enhancer. Its mild sweetness effectively masks minerals or vitamins that pets may find unpalatable, increasing their acceptance of the food. Since erythritol's metabolic pathway in pets is similar to that in humans, it contributes almost no calories and does not lead to pet obesity or elevated blood sugar, making it suitable for weight management in dogs and cats. Furthermore, its good stability and compatibility allow easy blending with various pet food ingredients without affecting nutritional formulation or processing.

4. Lip Care Products

    In lip balms, lip masks, and lip serums, erythritol functions as a humectant and skin feel modifier. The hydroxyl groups in its molecule effectively bind water, helping to keep lips hydrated and reduce dryness and flaking. The slight cooling sensation upon dissolution soothes lip discomfort and enhances the user experience. Erythritol is gentle and non-irritating even to sensitive lip skin. It demonstrates good compatibility with common lip care ingredients (e.g., beeswax, plant oils), aiding in the formation of uniform, fine-textured balms or emulsions and improving application and longevity.

5. Cake and Sweet Goods

    In sugar-free or low-sugar cakes, mousses, muffins, and other baked sweets, erythritol is a high-quality substitute for sucrose. Its heat resistance ensures no loss of sweetness or caramelization during baking, resulting in products with even color and fine texture. The bulk provided by erythritol is similar to sucrose, helping to maintain the fluffy structure and moist mouthfeel of cakes. Its low hygroscopicity prevents the products from absorbing moisture and softening during storage, extending freshness. Its pure sweet taste without aftertaste is ideal for creating healthier baked goods that meet consumer demands for both taste and health.

6. Other Applications

    Erythritol can also be widely used in pharmaceutical flavoring agents (e.g., syrups, lozenges), low-sugar sauces, and health supplement granules. Its high safety profile and versatility provide reliable support for product innovation across various industries, aiding in the development of new products that align with modern health trends.
