The Sweetener product group contains ERYLITE® Erythritol as the first special sweetener. ERYLITE® is the first natural polyol, a fermentation based bulk sweetener. Beside being natural its main benefit is a caloric value of zero (in Europe and Japan, 0.2 kcal/g in the USA) which makes it an excellent sweetener to formulate low and zero calorie foods and beverages. ERYLITE® has a clean sweet taste, a glycaemic index of zero, and an extraordinarily high digestive tolerance and is considered non-laxative compared to other sweeteners.
ERYLITE® Stevia is a unique blend of ERYLITE® and Rebaudioside A, a highly pure stevia plant extract. This blend unites the taste quality, the digestive tolerance and the bulking functionality of ERYLITE® with the sweetening capacity of stevia plant extracts. The result is a natural zero calorie sweetener with full sugar sweetness, excellent taste and the full bulk sweetener functionalities.
ERYLITE® and ERYLITE® Stevia based sweetening systems relate to a number of today’s dietary topics such as natural sweetening, sugar reduction / replacement, glycaemic index based diets or tooth friendliness.
