Erythritol Is Not Your Average Sugar Alcohol
What Is Erythritol:
- Erythritol is one of the most revolutionary sweeteners to hit the market in decades
- Can make deep, clean cuts in up to 99% of added sugars!
- 60 - 70% as sweet as sugar
- Erythritol is produced from a yeast strain grown in France
Erythritol As A Sweetening System:
- Sugar substitutes get a bad rap, but erythritol has no aftertaste
- Molecules in erythritol stimulate the sweet taste receptor in your tongue just like sugar, but it is not metabolized by the human body. Because of this it contributes just .2 calories per gram
- Erythritol blends well with high intensity sweeteners such as stevia and monk fruit. Ask us how.
- Is used in everything from ice cream and confectionery, to baked goods, beverages, and table-top sweeteners
Erythritol & The Body
- Erythritol does not spike blood sugar making it an ideal sweetener for the ever growing diabetic market.
- Erythritol can potentially reduce the risk of heart disease by improving blood vessel function.
- Smile big! Erythritol is healthier for your teeth, because it does not erode teeth like sugars do.
- Unlike other polyols, erythritol has few, if any any digestive side effects.
Clean Label Sugar Reduction
Is Key To Winning Health Minded And Mainstream Consumers. Erythritol May Help You Reach It With Clean Label Calorie Reduction.
In a study released by the Consumer Goods Forum, more than 102 food companies surveyed reformulated 180,000 products to support a healthier lifestyle and address public health issues. Ingredient suppliers and food technologists alike have this opportunity to step up their game. Companies like Coke, Pepsi, Kraft and Nestle are making changes, are you?
This is your chance to create a clean label product that consumers will love.
