Erythritol

Based on glucose, and manufactured using a fermentation process, Erythritol occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables.

Sugar-free products are both calorie-reduced and tooth-friendly, but many of the wide range of sugar replacers now available have shortcomings such as digestive intolerance, poor texture and bulking properties or an unsatisfactory taste profile. C-Eridex, the world's first all-natural polyol sweetener, has been developed to overcome these problems.

The revolutionary sweetener C-Eridex occurs naturally in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Its taste and functional properties are similar to sucrose, though its calorie content is close to zero (see Figure A) and when used in combination with intense sweeteners it can enhance the sweetness of both ingredients, add mouthfeel and body and mask unwanted off-tastes. C-Eridex has by far the highest digestive tolerance compared to other polyol sweeteners (see Figure B).
