Basic Properties of Erythritol

1.Sweetness

Erythritol has pure sweetness, which is very close to sucrose sweetness. It is refreshing and has no aftertaste. The sweetness is 60% - 70% of sucrose. It can be used as a diluent of high sweetness sweetener and mixed with stevioside or saccharin.

In addition, Erythritol can also cover up the bad taste caused by the combined use of a variety of sweeteners.

 

2.Non Cariogenic Properties

Microorganisms in the oral cavity, especially Streptococcus mutans, can't utilize and ferment erythritol, so it won't cause the decrease of pH value on the surface of oral teeth, produce dental plaque and lead to dental caries.However, it has a significant effect on the proliferation of Bifidobacterium, which can improve the body's immunity.The mechanism of erythritol against dental caries may be similar to xylitol, but it has some advantages over xylitol. The results showed that erythritol and xylitol had an effect on the growth of oral Streptococcus.When the content of erythritol was 4%, the growth of Streptococcus mutans was reduced by 71%, the growth of other two Strep tococcus mutans was also reduced by 76% and 77% respectively, and the antibacterial effect was more obvious than xylitol; The formation of mutant Streptococcus biofilm decreased by 31.32% under the conditioof 4% bryoglycol.
