Erythritol+Stevioside

Product details

Both erythritol and steviol glycosides are low-calorie natural sweeteners, commonly used in sugar substitutes and sweetness enhancers. Erythritol is a polyol produced by the fermentation of Pseudomonas fluorescens. It has a sweet taste and a calorific value lower than that of sucrose. Steviol glycoside is a kind of herbal sweetener extracted from the leaves of stevia plants, with lower calorific value and almost zero of erythritol. Both sweeteners are frequently used in products such as food, beverages and chewing gum.

 

Process Characteristics:

 

â‘  The ingredients of raw materials can be selected or adjusted according to the needs, for example, adopting steviol sugar RA98/RA97/RD/RM, adding other ingredients or not.

â‘¡ The sweetness, particle size and form (crystalline or non-crystalline) of the product can be adjusted according to customers' needs.

â‘¢Different processing processes including physical method, crystallization and granulation can be selected according to the customer's cost control.

â‘£Natural raw materials and clean processes are used.

 

Functional Characteristics:

 

â‘  Energy-free, sugar-free and fat-free.

â‘¡ It is not involved in human sugar metabolism and will not cause changes in blood sugar and plasma insulin level.

â‘¢ It is not cariogenic.

 

 

Advantages

 

1. High sweetness: Both Erythritol+Stevioside have high sweetness, which can achieve the expected sweetness with a small amount, thereby reducing calorie intake.

2. Difficult to absorb: Erythritol+Stevioside is not easily absorbed in the human body, which can avoid blood sugar and insulin reactions, and is suitable for diabetics and people who need blood sugar control.

3. Less impact on taste and cooking properties: It has less impact on taste and cooking properties, and is more stable than sucrose, and will not cause problems such as fermentation or fading.

4. No-calorie or low-calorie: They are all non-nutritive sweeteners, which contain no or very low calories, and are suitable for people who are dieting or losing weight.

5. High safety: As a natural sweetener, certified by the World Health Organization, it has high safety and will not cause harm to health.

 

 

Uses of erythritol and stevia

Stevia is significantly sweeter than sugar, so it's used in very small amounts.

It's widely available in powder or liquid form and can be added to coffee or tea or sprinkled over cereal, yogurt, or smoothie bowls.

It can also be used in many baked goods. However, note that you may need to adjust your recipe to account for the extra sweetness.

Additionally, stevia has a slightly bitter, licorice-like aftertaste that may change the flavor of your final product.

Erythritol can also be used as a low calorie substitute for sugar in many recipes, including beverages and baked goods.

It's frequently featured in low carb or ketogenic products, such as sugar-free candies, gum, and granola bars.

Keep in mind that erythritol doesn't dissolve as well as regular sugar and can crystallize, which may not be suitable when making certain dishes at home, such as ice cream.

Additionally, because it's not quite as sweet as sugar, use slightly more in your recipes by swapping it in for sugar at a 1.25-to-1 ratio.

 

Possible Health Benefits Of Stevia

Diabetes

Research has shown that stevia sweeteners do not contribute calories or carbohydrates to the diet. They have also demonstrated no effect on blood glucose or insulin response. This allows people with diabetes to eat a wider variety of foods and comply with a healthful meal plan. Another review of five randomized controlled trials compared the effects of stevia on metabolic outcomes with the effects of placebos. The study concluded that stevia showed minimal to no effects on blood glucose, insulin levels, blood pressure, and body weight. In one of these studies, subjects with type 2 diabetes reported that stevia triggered significant reductions in blood glucose and glucagon response after a meal. Glucagon is a hormone that regulates glucose levels in the blood, and the mechanism that secretes glucagon is often faulty in people with diabetes. Glucagon drops when blood glucose climbs. This regulates the glucose level.

Weight control

There are many causes of overweight and obesity, such as physical inactivity and increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in fat and added sugars. The intake of added sugars has been shown to contribute an average of 16 percent of the total calories in the American diet. This has been linked to weight gainTrusted Source and reduced control of blood glucose levels. Stevia contains no sugar and very few, if any, calories. It can be part of a well-balanced diet to help reduce energy intake without sacrificing taste.

Pancreatic cancer

Stevia contains many sterols and antioxidant compounds, including kaempferol. Studies have found that kaempferol can reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer by 23 percentTrusted Source.

Blood pressure

Certain glycosides in stevia extract have been found to dilate blood vessels. They can also increase sodium excretion and urine output. A 2003 study showed that stevia could potentially help lower blood pressure. The study suggested that the stevia plant might have cardiotonic actions. Cardiotonic actions normalize blood pressure and regulate the heartbeat. However, more recent studies have shown that stevia does not seem to impact blood pressure. Further research is required to confirm this benefit of stevia.

Children's diets

Foods and beverages containing stevia can play an important role in decreasing calories from unwanted sweeteners in the diets of children. There are now thousands of products on the market containing naturally-sourced stevia, ranging from salad dressings to snack bars. This availability allows children to consume sweet foods and drinks without the added calories while transitioning to a lower sugar diet. Excessive sugars and calories are linked to obesityTrusted Source and cardiovascular disease.
