Functions

Sweetening Agent: Erythritol provides sweetness with about 70% of the sweetness of sugar but contains almost no calories.

Low Glycemic Index: It has a glycemic index of approximately 1, meaning it has a minimal effect on blood glucose levels, making it suitable for people with diabetes.

Tooth-friendly: Unlike sugar, erythritol does not contribute to tooth decay because it is not fermented by the bacteria in the mouth.

Heat Stability: It is stable under heat, making it suitable for cooking and baking without losing its sweetness.

Non-cariogenic: It does not promote the growth of bacteria that cause cavities, making it a better option for dental health.
