MUI HALAL CERTIFICATE ERYTHRITOL

Erythritol is a reduced-calorie sugar alcohol that is 60 to 70 percent as sweet as sucrose. It naturally occurs in some fruit and fermented foods and has been approved for use as a food additive in the United States and throughout much of the world. Physically similar to sucrose, erythritol helps manufacturers completely or partially replace sugars without sacrificing texture or taste.

A white, anhydrous, non-hygroscopic, crystalline substance, erythritol presents a mild sweetness and an appearance similar to sucrose. As a bulk sweetener, erythritol provides volume, texture, and microbiologic stability similar to sucrose. It is soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol.

For many consumers, erythritol offers a simple solution to reducing caloric intake. Because it is readily digested and only partially absorbed by the body, it is considered a low-glycemic food that does not cause a rapid spike in postprandial blood glucose. In addition, polyols such as erythritol do not promote tooth decay as they are not readily converted into acids by bacteria in the mouth.

8. Meso-Erythritol is absorbed through small intestine and enter into blood, but not causes change of blood sugar and not involves in glycometabolism, discharged through kidney. It is suitable for people with diabetes and hyperglycemia. It does not ferment in colon, can avoid stomach uncomfortable

9. Not cause dental caries, Meso-Erythritol is not used by oral bacteria, so it will not produce acid substances to harm teeth, which will lead to dental caries, and inhibit the growth of oral bacteria, thus playing a role in the protection of teeth

Applications:

1. Beverages: Zero calorie, low calorie drinks

l Meso-Erythritol increases the sweetness, thickness and lubrication of the drink while reducing bitterness. It also masks other odors and improves the flavor of the drink

l Meso-Erythritol can be used as a refreshing powder beverage, because Meso-Erythritol absorbs large amounts of heat when dissolved, which causes cool mouth feel

l Meso-Erythritol can promote the combination of ethanol and water molecules in solution, and alcoholic drinks can reduce the sensory stimulation of smell and alcohol, and can effectively improve the quality of liquor and wine

l Meso-Erythritol can obviously improve the undesirable odor of plant extract, collagen, protein, peptide and other substances

2. Bakery foods

l Baked products using Meso-Erythritol have better structural tightness and softness, different oral solubility and subtle color differences than those using sucrose as raw material

l Meso-Erythritol used in baked foods is preferably powdery or crystallized with a fine particle size (<200um). The fine particles give the product a smooth, rounded texture and mouth feel

3. Cakes and cookies

l For cake products, adding Meso-Erythritol can reduce calories by at least 30 percent without any negative effects

l In heavy sugar and heavy oil cake and sponge cake, Meso-Erythritol and maltitol can be used to completely replace sucrose, which can produce low sugar and no sugar products with good taste, and also have good shelf life

l Products using Meso-Erythritol can extend shelf life. Meso-Erythritol inhibits microbial growth in baked products

l Meso-Erythritol can maintain freshness and softness of the product, because of its excellent water retention properties. Adding 10% Meso-Erythritol to biscuits can successfully improve the stability and shelf life of such products
