タイトルまたは説明

Human people and most of the other animals on the earth prefer sweet foods, which is also the main method of energy intake. However, overfeeding of sugars has led to problems such as fatness, diabetes, hypertension, decayed tooth and so on all over the world, especially in developed countries. It's now spreading fast to developing countries. Sequential effects on human health especially on kids have been realized more and more. But it is surely impossible for us to refuse sweet foods, candy and beverages.

As the improvement of ideas on human health, new consumptive ideas come up. Low-cal foods and beverages become more and more popular. In this situation, foods and beverages producers must find the substitutes of sugar to reduce energy in foods and beverages. Here comes erythritol, which has the absolute advantages over other sweeteners in low-cal, taste, tolerance and so on.

Brief Introduction of Erythritol

Erythritol is a new natural low-cal biologic fermentation sweetener, which exists in many kinds of fruits, vegetables and animal tissues etc. Chemical name: 1,2,3,*-Butanetetraol, molecular formula : C4H*0O4, molecular weight: **2.*2.

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/*0 caloric ability compared with cane sugar and 1/*5 caloric ability compared with xylitol. It feels pleasant cool. Erythritol has good biologic tolerance, the max human tolerance of erythritol is 2.**4.4 times of sorbitol and 2.**2.7 times of xylitol. Erythritol can’t be degraded by enzyme, so it is very suitable for patients suffering diabetes, obesity, hypertension, cardiac disease because of no catabolism. Because it has the characteristic of resisting streptococcus eroding tooth enamel, it can resist decayed tooth effectively.

Erythritol has white crystal appearance, low hygroscopic capacity, high deliquescent and endothermal capacity, has the medium solubility, low solution mucosity and also has the better character of freezing point falling and boiling point rising. It also has high crystalline property and better liquidity. Its solution has better heat-resistance and acid-resistance.

Approval for Erythritol

Erythritol has been approved by many countries and organizations for food production such as US, Japan, Australia/New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Russia, Israel, South Africa, Mexico and JECFA.

Green brand Erythritol has been certified by ISO***1, ISO****1, HACCP/GMP, KOSHER, HALAL, OHSAS****0, annual output: ***0tons. With excellent quality and first-class customer service, Green brand Erythritol has been accepted widely in the global market.
