The innovative sweetener from natural sources and 0 calories. In today’s world, our lifestyle requires a reduction in sugar and calorie intake. The taste requirements and the need to maintain the authentic sweet taste in various products especially in confectionery products, ice cream etc., create particular difficulties in maintaining the right balance of taste in replacing sugar with an alternative sweetener. The answer to these difficulties can be provided by erythritol , which in recent years has taken a significant share in the field of sweeteners. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol found naturally in certain fruits. It has about 60-70% of the sweetness of sugar but with a similar taste profile. Finally, it has many technological advantages over other sweeteners, thus enabling many applications in bakery, confectionery and beverages – soft drinks.
