DESCRIPTION

Erytrol can be used for cooking, baking or sweetening. In this way, reducing the calorific value of prepared dishes. Erythrol is less sweet than traditional sugar, reaching about 75% of its sweetness. Dietary supplements cannot be used as a substitute for a varied diet. It can be used as a replacement for traditional sugar, which is very similar to its appearance. It is ideal for sweetening coffee, tea, desserts and as an ingredient in cakes. However, erythritol is less sweeter, has about 60-70% of sucrose (sugar) sweets, which should be included in the recipes when replacing these products. When consumed, it leaves a soft feeling in the mouth. Its significant advantage over sugar is mainly its low calorie content and the fact that it has a zero glycemic index, and thus does not raise blood glucose levels. 1g of erythritol is only about 0.2 kcal, which is why it is called "calorie-free sweetener". Among the sweeteners present, it is the least caloric option, which has virtually no nutritional value, so it is ideal for people controlling calories and on reduction.
In food, erytrol is increasingly used in the production of healthy sweets, jams, candied fruits, chewing gums and the production of dietary supplements for people who need to exclude sugar from their diet. It does not only play the role of a sweetener, it is also used as a flavor enhancer, in thickening and as a substance that prevents changes in the consistency, color and taste of the product.
