Chemical compound
Erythritol (/ɪˈrɪθrɪtɒl/, US: /-tɔːl,-toʊl/)[2] is an organic compound, the naturally occurring achiral meso four-carbon sugar alcohol (or polyol).[3] It is the reduced form of either D- or L-erythrose and one of the two reduced forms of erythrulose. It is used as a food additive and sugar substitute. It is synthesized from corn using enzymes and fermentation. Its formula is C 4H 10O 4, or HO(CH2)(CHOH)2(CH2)OH.
Erythritol is 60–70% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar). However, erythritol is almost completely noncaloric,[4] and does not affect blood sugar[5] or cause tooth decay.[6] Japanese companies pioneered the commercial development of erythritol as a sweetener in the 1990s.
