Erythritol is a white crystalline powder that is odorless, with a clean sweet taste that is similar to sucrose. It is
approximately 70% as sweet as sucrose and flows easily due to its non-hygroscopic character. Like other polyols, erythritol does not promote tooth decay and is safe for people with diabetes. However, erythritols caloric value of 0.2 calories per gram and high digestive tolerance distinguishes it from some other polyols.
Erythritol has approximately 7 to 13% the calories of other polyols and 5% the calories of sucrose. Because erythritol is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine and rapidly eliminated by the body within 24 hours, laxative side effects sometimes associated with excessive polyol consumption are unlikely when consuming erythritol containing foods.

1)Erythritol can be widely used in baked products, all kinds of dairy products, chocolate, candy, chewing gum, soft drinks,
ice cream and other foods, with nice appearance and flavours.
2)Erythritol glycol is very suitable for diabetics, because it is not easy to be degraded by enzymes, so it is not involved in
glycemic metabolism and glucose changes. It can also be used as a substitute for low-calorie health food.
3)Erythritol is not fermented in the colon after consumption, so it has obvious value added effect on bifidobacterium,
which can avoid gastrointestinal distress and enhance human immunity.
4)Erythritol, decay resistance function of sugar alcohol is very obvious, is the main reason of the caries occur due to
corrosion of streptococcus mutans of oral teeth enamel, because of erythritol, sugar alcohol cannot be used by the
pathogen, and thus made of candy and special cleaning teeth to protect children's oral health has a very positive role.
