Erythritol, a sugar alcohol derived from fermented glucose, is valued for its natural origin and sweetening properties. With a sweetness similar to sugar but containing only about 0.2 calories per gram, erythritol serves as a popular low-calorie alternative in foods and beverages. It is well-known for its digestive tolerance, as it is absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted unchanged in the urine, minimizing the likelihood of digestive discomfort often associated with other sugar alcohols. Erythritol does not affect blood sugar levels, making it suitable for individuals managing diabetes or following low-carbohydrate diets. Its ability to provide sweetness without the calories and potential adverse effects of traditional sugars makes erythritol a preferred choice for health-conscious consumers seeking to reduce their sugar intake while enjoying the taste and texture of sweetened products.
