Erythritol

Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol/polyol approved for use as a food additive across the world. Erythritol is almost 70% as sweet as sugar and used as a bulk sweetener. Erythritol discovered in 1848 and it occurs naturally in some fruit and fermented foods. Erythritol’s flavor profile is very similar to sugar. It is non-cariogenic and has the highest digestive tolerance of the polyols. Since it is natural, it does not cause any side effects and tastes almost exactly like sugar without the calories.
