Introduction to E968 Erythritol
What is Erythritol?
Erythritol, known as E968, is a sugar alcohol used as a sugar substitute. It is approximately 60-80% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar) but has virtually zero calories. Erythritol occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods. It provides a sweet taste without the calories and a lower glycemic index, making it a popular choice for low-calorie and diabetic-friendly products.
Sources of Erythritol
Erythritol is produced by fermenting glucose with yeast, resulting in a stable, non-cariogenic sweetener that can be used in various food and pharmaceutical products. It is also found in small amounts in fruits like grapes, melons, and pears, as well as in mushrooms and certain fermented foods.
Applications
Food Industry: Erythritol is used in a wide range of sugar-free and reduced-calorie food products, including baked goods, chocolates, candies, and ice creams. It offers a similar taste and texture to sugar without the added calories.
Beverages: Erythritol can be used in diet and sugar-free beverages to provide sweetness while maintaining a low-calorie count.
Pharmaceuticals: In the pharmaceutical industry, erythritol is used as a sweetener in sugar-free medications, chewable tablets, and syrups to improve taste and patient compliance.
Tabletop Sweeteners: Erythritol is used in tabletop sweeteners that can be added to tea, coffee, and other beverages, offering a convenient, low-calorie sugar substitute.
Oral Care Products: Erythritol is used in toothpaste, mouthwash, and other oral care products to provide a pleasant taste and promote dental health by reducing the risk of tooth decay.
Diabetic-Friendly Products: Erythritol is suitable for use in products designed for diabetics, as it has a low glycemic index and does not significantly affect blood sugar levels.
Flavor Enhancement: Erythritol is also used to enhance flavors in various food products, providing a similar sweetness and mouthfeel to sugar.
Health and Safety
Erythritol (E968) is recognized as safe by major food safety authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Extensive research has demonstrated that erythritol is generally well-tolerated and does not contribute to tooth decay. Unlike some other sugar alcohols, erythritol does not cause digestive discomfort when consumed in moderate amounts.
Regulatory Status
E968 Erythritol is approved for use in many countries worldwide. Regulations specify allowable concentrations in different products to ensure safety and efficacy. Manufacturers must comply with these guidelines to ensure their products are safe for consumption.
Environmental Impact
Erythritol is considered environmentally friendly due to its high sweetness intensity, requiring only small amounts to achieve the desired sweetness. This reduces the environmental impact associated with large-scale sugar production and supports healthier and more sustainable dietary options.
