Erythritol

Erythritol is a four-carbon sugar alcohol (polyol) that occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods and is produced commercially by fermentation of glucose derived from starch. Nustras supplies erythritol as a food-grade crystalline powder, used mainly as a low-calorie bulk sweetener with a clean, sugar-like taste in foods, beverages and supplements.

Erythritol is formulated into sugar-free and reduced-sugar confectionery, chocolate, bakery products, tabletop sweeteners, beverages, dairy desserts and chewing gum, and protein bars. In supplement manufacturing it serves as a bulking agent, flavour carrier and tablet excipient.

Erythritol is a white, odourless crystalline powder, freely soluble in water, with a mild cooling effect on dissolution. The CAS number is 149-32-6, the molecular formula C4H10O4 and the molecular weight 122.12. The material is offered to FCC grade, each lot is standardised to specification, identity and assay are confirmed by HPLC, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies erythritol in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Erythritol is an accepted sweetener and food ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted use and labelling for their application.
