Description:
Meso-Erythritol, with the CAS number 149-32-6, is a sugar alcohol that belongs to the class of polyols. It is a colorless, odorless, and crystalline solid that is soluble in water, making it a popular ingredient in food and pharmaceutical applications. Meso-Erythritol is known for its sweet taste, which is approximately 60-70% as sweet as sucrose, but it contains significantly fewer calories, making it a low-calorie sweetener. This compound is non-cariogenic, meaning it does not contribute to tooth decay, and it has a low glycemic index, making it suitable for diabetic diets. Chemically, meso-erythritol is a four-carbon molecule with two hydroxyl groups, which contributes to its solubility and sweet taste. It is often used in various food products, including sugar-free and reduced-calorie items, as well as in cosmetic formulations. Additionally, meso-erythritol is produced naturally in some fermented foods and is also synthesized for commercial use.
