Erythrol and Erythritol are the replacement names for the same product. It is a natural low-calorie sweetener that belongs to the group of polyhydric or sugar alcohols. It is found naturally in fruits such as melons, pears and grapes as well as in corn, seaweed, lichen and red wine.
In industry, it is obtained through fermentation, this is the same process as in cheese production, but instead of milk, fruit is used. Another way to obtain it is to use glucose and various types of yeast or glycerol, also using microorganisms, in this case Yarrowia lipolitica.
Erythritol has a delicate sweet taste. When consumed, it leaves a soft feeling in the mouth. 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.
It is used for baking and cooking, thus reducing the calorie content of prepared dishes. After ingestion, it is quickly eliminated from the body. Can be used by diabetics. The advantage of this product is that, consumed even in large quantities, it has no laxative effect. Erythrol is not metabolized by our body, because we do not have an enzyme that would break it down in our body. It is almost completely eliminated and does not affect the intestinal bacterial flora at all. It can be used as a replacement for traditional sugar, which is very similar to its appearance. Ideally suited for sweetening coffee, tea, desserts and as an ingredient in cakes. Erythritol, however, is less sweeter, has about 60-70% of sucrose (sugar) sweets, which should be included in the recipes when replacing these products.
Erythritol has a positive effect on our body by acting as an antioxidant and protecting teeth. As an antioxidant, it combines with free radicals and protects our body against their harmful effects. It also has the ability to inhibit sugar fermentation, which occurs through bacteria of the genus Streptococcus, which can cause cavities in the teeth.
In food, erytrol is increasingly used in the production of healthy sweets, jams, candied fruit, chewing gums and the production of dietary supplements for people who need to exclude sugar from their diet. It not only plays the role of a sweetener, it is also used as a flavor enhancer, in thickening and as a substance that prevents the product from changing its consistency, color and taste.
