application:

erythritol is a sugar alcohol that has been approved for use as a food additive in the united states and throughout much of the world. erythritol occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods. at the industrial level, it is produced from glucose by fermentation with yeast. erythritol is powder with a transparent white brilliant appearance. it is 60–70% as sweet as table sugar. the united states and japan label erythritol as zero-calorie, while european union label it as 0.24 kcal/g.

1.erythritol has a strong cooling effect (endothermic, or positive heat of solution) when it dissolves in water, which is often combined with the cooling effect of mint flavors.

2.erythritol is commonly used as a medium in which to deliver high-intensity sweeteners, especially stevia derivatives, serving the dual function of providing both bulk and a flavor similar to that of table sugar.

3.erythritol is tooth-friendly; it cannot be metabolized by oral bacteria, so it does not contribute to tooth decay.

4.erythritol has been suggested as the active ingredient causing truvia-induced impaired motor function and reduced life span in fruit flys.

5.in general, erythritol is free of side effects in regular use. doses over 50 grams (1.8 oz) can cause a significant increase in nausea and stomach rumbling (borborygmi). rarely, erythritol can cause allergic hives.
