Erythritol is a free flowing crystalline polyol. It has become tremendously popular due to the benefits over sugar and other natural sugar alcohols. In the past few years it has become a standard ingredient in the food and beverage industry. For buyers, formulators or manufacturers learning about Erythritol and other polyols, this product information from The Calorie Control Council at Polyols.org may be a valuable resource. This product contains no sugar, or alcohol (zero ethanol), but gets its polyol name from its structural chemical formula. In other words, it is not sugar, and it contains no alcohol of the type found in alcoholic beverages. Sugar alcohols occur naturally in plant materials such as fruits and vegetables, as well as in fermented foods like cheese or wine. This National Institute of Health article provides useful information about the history and characteristics of erythritol, as well as comparison charts showing the glycemic index and general properties. Erythritol has been in short supply in the marketplace lately. Please contact us for pricing, availability and lead times. SWEETNESS LEVEL COMPARISON Erythritol is a natural sweetener which is about 60 to 80% as sweet as sugar, with 0.2 calories per gram (zero calories, for labeling purposes). Sorbitol, by comparison, has 2.6 calories per gram and is about 60% as sweet as sugar. Xylitol is as sweet as sugar, but with 2.4 calories per gram. Maltitol is about 75% as sweet as sugar, with 2.1 calories per gram. Unlike the other sugar alcohols, 90% of Erythritol is absorbed into the small intestine and expelled in the urine. Only about 10% enters the colon, making digestion issues seen with other sugar alcohols far less frequent. Other benefits are: Erythritol does not raise blood sugar, and so is safe for diabetics. Like the other sugar alcohols, Erythritol does not cause tooth decay. Erythritol acts synergistically with Stevia. Erythritol can significantly reduce the aftertaste of Stevia, while Stevia tones down Erythritol's cold mouth feel. The FDA has affirmed the GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) status of Erythritol. This product is available as certified organic or conventional. We offer it in granular and powder forms. WE ARE SUPPLIERS OF ORGANIC STEVIA Stevia is a natural plant based sweetener, derived from the Stevia rebaudiana plant, which grows in South America. Stevia contains zero calories (less than 5 grams of carbohydrates) and the extract is up to 300 times sweeter than common table sugar. It is one of the best alternative sweeteners for manufactured products in the keto diet market. Like Erythritol, Stevia has no effect on blood glucose levels, and this is safe for diabetics. It has been used for more than 1,500 years in South America. The product has achieved widespread popularity in the United States, and around the world, over the past few decades. Stevia extract performs well when used with other sweeteners, especially with Erythritol. Stevia helps moderate Erythritol's cold mouth feel, while Erythritol can help reduce the aftertaste of Stevia. We offer Organic Stevia with 90 - 98% Rebaudioside A, 40 - 98% powder, and Stevia extract. The products are Organic, non-GMO, and gluten free. Like Erythritol, Stevia has no effect on blood glucose levels, and is safe for diabetics. SUPPLIERS OF ORGANIC INULIN TO MANUFACTURERS We are suppliers of Organic and Conventional Inulin. This product is made from Jerusalem Artichoke, although other sources are available, such as chicory and agave. Although inulin is sometimes categorized as a sweetener, it is less sweet than the other sweeteners described on this page. It is often used in formulations with other sweeteners, for fiber and additional benefits. It is a polysaccharide; a fructan (made up primarily of fructose molecules). It is a highly soluble dietary fiber, often used as a food additive for functional foods. Some typical additive uses of Inulin are in: bread, cakes, yogurt, protein bars, soups, drinks, sauces and dressings. It can improve the texture and taste of many foods, and is a prebiotic. It essentially acts as food for the “good” bacteria in the intestines, helping those “good bacteria” multiply.
