Erythritol is an increasingly well-known and used sweetener. It comes from the group of sugar alcohols - polyols, has a zero calorific value and glycemic index. It is recommended to everyone, including people with diabetes or a low-calorie diet. It looks deceptively similar to ordinary white sugar - crystalline, odorless, similar in taste.
Erythritol occurs naturally in flower pollen, fruit (pears, melons, grapes), cap mushrooms, seafood, fermented drinks such as wine, as well as in lichens and sea algae. Erythritol, available in stores, is most often obtained by fermenting glucose by different species of yeast or synthesized by yeast from waste glycerin. It is completely safe for use in the kitchen and more. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized erythritol as a completely safe food additive. On the labels, you can find it under the designation E968.
It is considered to be one of the healthiest sweeteners - it is not metabolized by the human body, humans excrete it unchanged with urine. The good news is that it is not fermented by oral bacteria, so it does not cause cavities like traditional sugar.
In the food industry in Poland, it can be used as an additive to e.g. ice cream, jams, jellies, marmalades, candied fruits, chewing gums, as well as various sauces and dietary supplements.
