Erythritol is a natural Sugar-Free-Sweetener with unique characteristics and multiple advantages. The following is a detailed introduction:
I. Basic Characteristics
Strong stability
It can withstand high temperatures (capable of withstanding temperatures above 160℃), acids and alkalis, and remains stable in nature during processing such as baking and high-temperature sterilization, without easily decomposing or generating harmful substances.
Low hygroscopicity
It hardly absorbs moisture in an environment with a relative humidity of less than 90%, which is convenient for food storage and processing, and is especially suitable for making dry foods (such as chocolate and candies).
