eritritol

¿Qué es el eritritol??

El eritritol es un tipo de carbohidrato llamado alcohol de azúcar., o poliol, que son compuestos solubles en agua que se encuentran naturalmente en muchas frutas y verduras. También se produce comercialmente mediante fermentación a partir de un azúcar simple derivado del maíz., llamada dextrosa. It’s used as a zero-calorie sweetener to help replace calories from carbohydrates and sugars in packaged foods and beverages. In addition to providing sweetness, erythritol also helps foods retain moisture.
Erythritol is a low-calorie sweetener. Erythritol is generally not harmful to the kidneys. Compared to other sugar alcohols, erythritol has many significant functional and application advantages because of its very high molecular weight. Small, most of them can be quickly absorbed in the cerebellum, but will not be metabolized and decomposed, and will soon be excreted in the urine. Por lo tanto, erythritol usually does not cause kidney damage. Además, erythritol affects blood sugar. It’s small, so diabetics can eat it.

Erythritol Application

Application in food
Bulk Erythritol is very close to white sugar in appearance and taste. It can be exchanged for white sugar in recipes at a ratio of 1:1, but the sweetness is slightly lower. And reducing the sweetness to avoid over-stimulation of the sweet nerve is not a bad thing.
Erythritol is thermally stable and can be used in baking. In baked goods, it not only provides sweetness, but also serves the structural role of the sugar it replaces, such as providing bulk, helping with whipping, etc.. It is probably the most commonly used sugar substitute in low-carb desserts.
Erythritol is slightly less soluble than sugar. Powdered erythritol works better than crystals in some formulations that require a smooth texture. Además, erythritol cannot caramelize and allow yeast to ferment.
