Overview of Erythritol

Erythritol is a carbon-based sugar alcohol that is used to sweeten foods and drinks with low calories, as well as a pharmaceutical excipient. The product is known for its superior sugar profile, its zero glycemic index and dental health benefits. Erythritol is used extensively in pharmaceutical, food, and nutraceutical formulations to serve as a functional ingredient and sugar substitute.

This API appears as a white crystalline powder with excellent water solubility, high stability, and a clean, sweet taste. Its properties—non-cariogenic, non-glycemic, low-calorie (0.2 kcal/g), and well-tolerated—make it ideal for diabetic products, dietary supplements, and pharmaceutical applications.

Related products include Xylitol, Sorbitol, Mannitol, and other sugar alcohols used as pharmaceutical excipients and sweeteners.
