What is organic erythritol?
Organic Erythritol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol, derived from organic non-GMO corn or other plant-based sources, through a fermentation process. This low-calorie sweetener provides approximately 60-70% of the sweetness of sugar but with almost zero calories. It is widely used as a sugar substitute in food and beverages, particularly for those looking to reduce calorie intake or manage blood sugar levels. Erythritol is known for its clean, sweet taste, and is often favored for its minimal aftertaste compared to other sugar alcohols.
Production Process:
- Source: Erythritol is derived from organic plant materials, typically corn, using a natural fermentation process that converts glucose into erythritol using non-GMO yeast.
- Fermentation: The glucose derived from the plant source undergoes fermentation with the help of specific strains of yeast to convert it into erythritol.
- Purification: The fermented product is purified through filtration and crystallization processes to isolate pure erythritol crystals.
- Drying: The final product is dried into a fine, free-flowing powder or crystals, making it easy to use in various applications.
Key Features:
- Low-Calorie: Erythritol provides about 0.2 calories per gram, making it an ideal sugar substitute for those following low-calorie, ketogenic, or diabetic diets.
- Blood Sugar-Friendly: Erythritol has a glycemic index of 0, meaning it does not raise blood sugar or insulin levels, making it suitable for diabetics and individuals with insulin resistance.
- Non-GMO and Organic: Our erythritol is sourced from organic, non-GMO corn, ensuring a clean and natural product.
- Natural Sweetness: Erythritol provides sweetness that closely resembles sugar, without the bitter aftertaste that is common with other artificial sweeteners.
- Tooth-Friendly: Unlike sugar, erythritol does not contribute to tooth decay and can help maintain dental health.
