About Pekhill's Organic Erythritol

| Why Pekhill's Organic Erythritol?

Pekhill has trusted sugar alcohol industry experts with advanced technology and best service.

With deep R&D resources in regulatory, application and product development, Pekhill's organic erythritol is reliable and sustainable.

| How is organic erythritol made?

Erythritol is a low molecular weight polyol consisting of four carbon atoms.

Appearance is a white crystalline, odorless product that quickly dissolves in water. (up to 60 g/100 ml at 30°C) to provide crystal clear, low viscosity, colorless solutions.

The production process is a completely natural fermentation process.

*The main raw material is non-GMO high-quality organic corn.

| Physicochemical properties of erythritol

-Solubility

Erythritol has moderate solubility (37%, 25℃)

It has the characteristics of very good crystallinity and powder products, and is suitable for low-sugar foods that need to be provided by sucrose to provide a crystalline structure.

- Hygroscopicity

 The hygroscopicity of erythritol crystals is extremely low, and it does not absorb moisture in an environment with a relative humidity of 90%, which is more difficult to absorb moisture than sucrose.

 It is suitable for the production of candy, such as tablet candy, cough candy, chewing gum, sugar coating, etc., which helps to prolong the shelf life of the product.

-Stability

Very stable acid and alkali resistance, can remain stable even under the condition of pH2-10 for a long time.

It has strong heat resistance and will not decompose or discolor even if the temperature is as high as 160℃.

 No Maillard reaction

- Control water activity

Erythritol has a small molecule, which can greatly reduce water activity and improve the preservative ability of food.

sweetness

Erythritol has a very refreshing sweetness characteristic similar to sucrose, without bad after-bitterness, and its sweetness is about 70% of that of sucrose.

- Taste

Erythritol absorbs more calories (-43 kcal/g) when dissolved in water, and has a cool taste characteristic when eaten.

 It can be used to make cool foods, such as chewing gum, cough drops, gummies, etc.

| Physiological characteristics of erythritol

- Unique metabolic pathways

90% of erythritol cannot be metabolized and excreted in urine, which determines the low energy characteristics of erythritol.

-Low energy

 Energy coefficient is 0 KJ/g

- High tolerance

 Erythritol has the highest tolerance level in the human body.

 The tolerated dose is 2-3 times that of xylitol, maltitol and isomalt, and 3-4 times that of sorbitol and mannitol.

- Not cariogenic

Oral microorganisms, especially Streptococcus mutants, cannot rely on erythritol to grow and reproduce, and will not produce organic acids to lower the pH of the plaque surface. Therefore, erythritol does not cause dental caries.

-Suitable for diabetics

Erythritol is not degraded by enzymes, and can only be excreted from the blood to the urine through the kidneys (easy to be absorbed by the small intestine), and does not participate in glucose metabolism and blood sugar changes.
