Erythritol

Erythritol, chemical name: 1, 2, 3, 4-Butanetetraol, Molecular formula: C4H10O4, Molecular weight: 122.12, melting point: 118-122, boiling point: 329-331, expectation life: 36 month, is powder with a transparent white brilliant appearance, tastes sweet slightly, crystallizes easily and feels pleasantly cool, relative sweet degree 0.7 or so, non-caloric, only one of ten caloric ability compared with cane sugar.

Erythritol's sweet degree is about seventy percent of cane sugar, the caloric coefficient is 0.2kcal/g (some Countries approve as Zero), only 1/20 caloric ability compared with cane sugar and 1/15 caloric ability compared with xylitol. It feels pleasant cool. Erythritol has good biologic tolerance, the max human tolerance of erythritol is 2.7-4.4 times of sorbitol and 2.2-2.7 times of xylitol.
Erythritol is used in food manufacturing such as baking and roasting foods, cakes, dairy produce, chocolate, all kinds candies, dessert, gum, soft drink, ice-cream etc. Which keeps foods good in color, sweet-smelling, sapor and prevent foods from deterioration.
