Erythritol CAS 149-32-6

Product name: Erythritol Molecular Formula: C4H10O4 Molecular Weight: 122.12 CAS No.: 149-32-6 Description Erythritol occurs as white crystals. It is obtained by fermentation of starch enzyme hydrolysate (from starches such as wheat and corn). It is obtained from the fermentation broth of the yeasts Moniliella pollinis or Trichosporonoides megachiliensis. It is stable to heat and is nonhygroscopic. It is soluble in water and is slightly soluble in alcohol. Erythritol melts between 119° and 123°. Applications 1. Drinks Erythritol is used in the development of new zero-calorie and low-calorie beverages. Erythritol can increase the sweetness, heaviness and smoothness of the drink, while reducing the bitterness, and it can also cover up other odors and improve the flavor of the drink. 2. Baked food Sucrose and fat are the main raw materials for making baked goods, but this kind of "high sugar, high fat and high calorie" products can no longer meet the needs of consumers. Using erythritol and maltitol instead of sucrose can produce low-sugar and no-sugar products with good taste, which can greatly reduce calories and also have a good shelf life. 3. Candy Nowadays, the confectionery and chocolate market has also expanded from the early use of sucrose as the basic raw material to the new low-sugar and low-calorie sugar group as the raw material. The taste of erythritol is the same as that of sucrose, and there is no need to add strong sweeteners such as aspartame or saccharin. The sweetness of the candies made with erythritol is pure and has no bad aftertaste, and the candies made with erythritol have a refresher and cooler taste than other "non-sucrose" candies. 4. Pharmaceutical industry Erythritol has been widely used in medicine and daily chemical industry due to its anti-caries, anti-oxidation, moisturizing and non-flammability properties. Functional advantages of erythritol (1) Zero-calorie: Erythritol is the only zero-calorie alditol. Because of its small molecular weight, it is easily absorbed by the human body. At the same time, only a small amount of erythritol absorbed by the human body enters the human large intestine and is fermented by microorganisms. 80% of erythritol enters the human blood after being consumed by the human body, but it cannot be catabolized and metabolized by human enzymes, does not provide energy for the body, does not participate in sugar metabolism, and can only be excreted from the human body through urine. (2) High tolerance: The human body's tolerance to erythritol is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight, which is higher than xylitol, lactitol and maltitol. The main reason is that the molecular weight of erythritol is small and less absorbed, which is mainly excreted through urine, so as to avoid diarrhea caused by hypertonic phenomenon and flatulence caused by intestinal bacterial fermentation. (3) Anti-caries: Erythritol is not used by human oral bacteria, so it will not produce acidic substances that can damage teeth and cause dental caries. Erythritol has an inhibitory effect on the growth of oral bacteria, thereby protecting teeth.
