CAS 4358-64-9

Erythritan

Description:

Erythritan, with the CAS number 4358-64-9, is a sugar alcohol (polyol) that is commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener in various food products. It is a naturally occurring compound found in some fruits and fermented foods. Erythritan is characterized by its sweet taste, which is approximately 60-80% as sweet as sucrose, yet it contains significantly fewer calories—about 0.2 calories per gram. This makes it an attractive option for those seeking to reduce caloric intake without sacrificing sweetness. Chemically, erythritan is a four-carbon molecule with the formula C4H10O4, and it is classified as a tetritol. It is highly soluble in water and has a low glycemic index, making it suitable for diabetic diets. Additionally, erythritan is known for its digestive tolerance, as it is mostly absorbed in the small intestine and excreted unchanged in urine, minimizing gastrointestinal discomfort compared to other sugar alcohols. Its stability under heat and acidic conditions further enhances its utility in food applications.

CAS: 4358-64-9

1,4-Anhydro-D-erythritol is a sugar alcohol that can be found in various plants and fruits. It is a reaction product of D-erythrose and glycerol, with an average formation rate of 10%. The hydroxyl group on the 1,4-anhydro-D-erythritol molecule reacts with methyl glycosides to produce an ester. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is used as a catalyst in this process, which activates the hydroxyl group on the molecule. The reaction mechanism for this process involves three steps: elimination of water, dehydration of the hydroxyl group, and addition of methyl glycoside. This process results in a new molecule called 1,4-anhydro-D-erythritol methyl ester (AEME). AEME has been shown to have conformational properties that are different from those of its parent compound.
