Erythritol, a filling sweetener, is a four-carbon sugar alcohol with the molecular formula C4H10O4. Erythritol is widely found in nature, such as mushrooms, lichens, melons, grapes, pears, and in small amounts in fermented foods like wine, beer, soy sauce, and sake. It can be produced by fermentation of glucose as a white crystalline powder with a crisp sweet taste, not easily absorbed by moisture, stable at high temperatures, stable in a wide pH range, and has a mild cool sensation when dissolved in the mouth, and is suitable for a variety of foods.
