DESCRIPTION

ERYTHRITOL 500 g - BATOM

Erythritol can be used in cooking, baking, or sweetening, thereby reducing the calorie content of prepared dishes. Erythritol is less sweet than conventional sugar, achieving approximately 75% of its sweetness. Food supplements cannot be used as a substitute for a varied diet. It can be used as a substitute for traditional sugar, which is very similar in appearance. It is perfect for sweetening coffee, tea, desserts, and as an ingredient in cakes. However, erythritol is less sweet, having approximately 60-70% the sweetness of sucrose (sugar), which should be taken into account in recipes when replacing these products. When consumed, it leaves a slightly cooling sensation in the mouth. Its main advantage over sugar is its low calorie content and the fact that it has a glycemic index of zero, meaning it does not raise blood sugar levels. 1g of erythritol has only approximately 0.2 kcal, which is why it is called a "zero-calorie sweetener." Among the sweeteners available, it is the lowest calorie option, having virtually no nutritional value, making it ideal for people who are controlling calories and cutting calories.
In food, erythritol is increasingly used in the production of healthy sweets, jams, candied fruits, chewing gum, and dietary supplements for people who need to eliminate sugar from their diet. It not only acts as a sweetener, but also serves as a flavor enhancer, thickener, and as a substance that prevents changes in the consistency, color, and flavor of the product.
Erythritol has a positive effect on our body, acting as an antioxidant and protecting our teeth. As an antioxidant, it binds to free radicals and protects our body from their damaging effects. It also has the ability to inhibit the sugar fermentation caused by bacteria of the genus Streptococcus, which can cause tooth decay.

INTERESTS
In recipes that replace sugar with erythritol, we should use the following ratio: Replace 5 g of sugar with approximately 7 g of erythritol. Erythritol is not recommended for baking yeast cakes because it slows down the rising process. In food products, it is listed as E968. It is often added to other sweeteners, such as aspartame, in products to reduce their unpleasant aftertaste and enhance their sweet taste. In cosmetics, it is used as a substitute for glycerin, which acts as a preservative, protecting the product from spoilage.
