ErySweet Family | Erythritol
Erythritol is a naturally occurring polyol that has almost no caloric value and does not spike blood sugar levels, making it ideal for keto diets—it is 60 to 70% as sweet as sugar. Polyols—also known as sugar alcohols—are formed by the hydrogenation of carbohydrates. Icon Foods' ErySweet formulas can be used by food and beverage manufacturers as an ingredient in diet sodas, light or low-sugar juices, flavored waters, canned fruits, condiments, ice cream, flavored milk, and yogurt—both dairy and plant based. The ErySweet product line can also be used effectively in baked goods, cereals, chocolate, syrups, and confections. This line works to provide a balanced sweetness profile when used in tandem with high intensity sweeteners such as stevia and monk fruit. Adding allulose to the formula will allow for melting, browning, and caramelization. For a complete formula, we recommend including resistant digestive fibers in the form of FOS, soluble tapioca fiber, or inulin. This will provide body while increasing mouthfeel and texture.
