1.Bulk Sweetener For Sugar Free And Reduced Calorie Products: Erythritol (CAS 149-32-6) is a polyol sweetener used as the bulk sweetener in sugar free and reduced calorie food and drink, carrying the mass that sugar normally provides.
2.Confectionery, Chocolate, Bakery And Beverages: It is applied across confectionery, chocolate, bakery products, ice cream, instant coffee and beverages, where a sugar replacement that behaves like a bulk sweetener is needed.
3.Improved Digestive Tolerance In Syrups And Polyol Blends: As an excipient it can partly replace sucrose or other polyols in syrups, improving digestive tolerance and lowering the total caloric value of the formulation.
4.Cosmetic And Oral Care Formulations: It is also used in cosmetic formulations, giving formulators a non sugar sweetening and bulking option outside food applications.
