エリトリトール
工業生産においてエリトリトールは、トウモロコシデンプンから加水分解を触媒にしブドウ糖を生成するために酵素を用い、ブドウ糖をモニリエラ・トメントサ・バール・ポリニス、オーレオバシディウム、カンジダ・マグノリアエ等の菌株で発酵させて製造する。他には電気化学合成による製造も開発中である。ヤロウイア・リポリティカ変異株は、発酵によるエリトリトール生産の際に特化されており、炭素源にグリセロールを使用し、その高い浸透圧により生成率が62%まで増加する。
Quote: "Erythritol is a polyol, and according to the current rules as provided for in Article 5(1) of Directive 90/496/EEC, its energy would be calculated using the conversion factor for polyols, namely 10 kJ/g (2,4 kcal/g). Using this energy conversion factor would not fully inform the consumer about the reduced energy value of a product achieved by the use of erythritol in its manufacture. The Scientific Committee on Food in its opinion on erythritol, expressed on March 5, 2003, noted that the energy provided by erythritol was less than 0,9 kJ/g (less than 0,2 kcal/g). Therefore it is appropriate to adopt a suitable energy conversion factor for erythritol. Current regulations (Reg.
