Erythritol - 400 g

Erythritol is a plant-based non-carbohydrate sweetener that is classified as a sugar alcohol in the same way as xylitol and sorbitol. This natural sweetener is found in some mushrooms, pumpkin, melon, grapes, pears, and in some foods and beverages after the fermentation process - in wine, beer, cheese, soy sauce, etc. Industrially, erythritol is obtained by yeast fermentation of plants with a high starch content - corn, tapioca, etc. It has about 70% of the sweetening power of regular sugar. It can be used as a substitute for cane sugar, beet sugar, or other sweeteners. This sweet-tasting substance was discovered in 1848 by the Scottish chemist John Stenhouse. In 1993, erythritol began to be used in Japan, and later in the rest of the world. Erythritol has a crystalline structure and leaves a cooling sensation when dissolved in the mouth. It has a zero glycemic index. This product is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine, but is not digested by the body and is excreted naturally in the urine. Unlike other sweeteners, it has no effect on the intestinal microflora, does not cause bloating and other unpleasant symptoms.
