CAS Registry Number: 149-32-6 Melting Point: 117-121degreeWater Solubility: Soluble Erythritol, a polyol (sugar alcohol), is currently used as a bulk sweetener in
reduced calorie foods. It has been part of the human diet for thousands of years
as it is present in fruits such as pears, melons and grapes, as well as foods such
as mushrooms and fermentation-derived foods such as wine, soy sauce and cheese.Erythritol is a white crystalline powder that is odorless, with a clean sweettaste that is similar to sucrose. It is approximately 70% as sweet as sucroseand flows easily due to its non-hygroscopic character. Like other polyols, erythritol
does not promote tooth decay and is safe for people with diabetes. However,erythritol's caloric value of 0.2 calories per gram and high digestive tolerance
distinguishes it from some other polyols. It has approximately 7 to 13% the calories
of other polyols and 5% the calories of sucrose. Because erythritol is rapidlyabsorbed in the small intestine and rapidly eliminated by the body within24 hours, laxative side effects sometimes associated with excessive polyol consumption.
are unlikely when consuming erythritol containing foods.Specification:Appearance: white crystallized powder Purity(%) min. 99%PH value 4-6 Conductivity (us/cm) max.20Melting point 119-123 Arsenic (ppm) max.2.0Heavy Metals(ppm) max.0.5 Loss of water on drying max.0.2%Ash % max.0.1% Non soluble residues mg/kg max.15Glycerol % max.0.1% Ribitol max. 0.1%Reducing Sugars max.0.3% E.Coliform cfu/100g NegativeYeast & Moulds cfu/g max.100Package: Net weight 25 Kg/ fiber board drum..
