8. Properties: Erythritol is powder with a transparent white brilliant appearance, tastes sweet slightly, crystallizes easily and feels pleasant cool, relative sweet degree 0.7 or so, non-caloric, only one of fifteen caloric ability compared with cane sugar. Erythritol characterize low caloric ability, good thermo-stability, bad accessibility, low ice point, it has broad application fields such as food, medicine, cosmetics, chemical industry, etc. In food industry, Erythritol, as substitute of cane sugar, is used in food manufacturing such as baking and roasting foods, cakes, dairy produce, chocolate, all kinds candies, dessert, chewing gum, soft drink, jelly drinks, ice-cream etc. Which keeps foods good in color, sweet-smelling, sapor and prevent foods from deterioration. Erythritol can not be degraded by enzyme, so it is very suitable for patients suffering diabetes, obesity, hypertension, cardiac disease because of no catabolism...Erythritol cann't ferment in colon, so it has the function to proliferate clearly bifidobacterium, avoid gastroenteric discomfort and enhance the immune ability. Erythritol resists decayed tooth effectively, caused mainly by streptococcus eroding tooth enamel, because erythritol can not be used by streptococcus, the candies and special tooth purificant or tooth paste made by using erythitol has an active function for children's nonnasality health.
