Erythrol and Erythritol are the replacement names for the same product. It is a sweetener that belongs to the group of polyhydric or sugar alcohols. Erythritol naturally occurs in fruits such as melons, pears and grapes, and in corn, seaweed, lichen and red wine. In industry, it is obtained through fermentation, this is the same process as in cheese production, but instead of milk, fruit is used. Another way to obtain it is to use glucose and various types of yeast or glycerol, also using microorganisms, in this case Yarrowia lipolitica.
It can be used as a replacement for traditional sugar, which is very similar to its appearance. Ideally suited for sweetening coffee, tea, desserts and as an ingredient in cakes. Erythritol, however, is less sweeter, has about 60-70% of sucrose (sugar) sweets, which should be included in the recipes when replacing these products. When consumed, it leaves a soft feeling in the mouth. Its significant advantage over sugar is mainly its low calorie content and the fact that it has a zero glycemic index, and thus does not raise blood glucose levels. 1g of erythritol is only about 0.2 kcal, which is why it is called "calorie-free sweetener". Among the sweeteners present, it is the least caloric option, which has virtually no nutritional value, so it is ideal for people controlling calories and on reduction. Erythrol is not metabolized by our body, because we do not have an enzyme that would break it down in our body. It is almost completely eliminated and does not affect the intestinal bacterial flora at all. It should not be used by children under 3 years of age due to the not fully developed digestive system, after which it has no contraindications and side effects.
Erythritol has a positive effect on our body by acting as an antioxidant and protecting teeth. As an antioxidant, it combines with free radicals and protects our body against their harmful effects. It also has the ability to inhibit sugar fermentation, which occurs through bacteria of the genus Streptococcus, which can cause cavities in the teeth.
In food, erytrol is increasingly used in the production of healthy sweets, jams, candied fruit, chewing gums and the production of dietary supplements for people who need to exclude sugar from their diet. It not only plays the role of a sweetener, it is also used as a flavor enhancer, in thickening and as a substance that prevents the product from changing its consistency, color and taste.
CURIOSITIES
In the recipes, replacing sugar with erythritol we should use the proportion: 5g of sugar should be replaced with about 7g of erythritol. The use of erythritol for baking yeast cakes is not recommended because it slows down the rise of dough. In food products it is listed as E968. It is often added to other sweeteners, such as aspartame, to reduce unwanted aftertaste and improve sweet taste. In cosmetics, it is used as a substitute for glycerin, which acts as a preservative, i.e. protects the product against deterioration.
