What is Erythritol?
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that is used as an alternative sweetener. The raw material for the production of erythritol is starch. Enzymes first break it down in a biochemical-enzymatic process. This is followed by fermentation using yeasts or fungi, from which the sugar substitute is finally obtained.
Characteristics of erythritol:
sugar-like appearance
almost calorie-free
Weaker sweetening power than sugar
Is Erythritol healthy?
Many studies show that the sweetener erythritol is harmless. Side effects that affect the metabolism did not occur even with excessive consumption. The sugar substitute is quickly absorbed in the small intestine and more than 90 percent is excreted unchanged in the urine.
This greatly reduces the accompanying symptoms such as flatulence, which are more common with other sugar substitutes. These are mainly caused by the bacterial fermentation of the sweeteners in the large intestine. In addition, erythritol, like other sweeteners, has an insulin-independent effect.
