IMAHERB Supplement USDA Organic Certified Monk Fruit Extract And Erythritol Blend

What is Monk Fruit Extract And Erythritol Blend?

We use it in our Lakanto Monkfruit Sweeteners as a way to make a convenient one-to-one sugar replacement.

It’s first important to understand that neither monk fruit, nor erythritol can match the sweetness of sugar by themselves. Monk fruit is much too sweet, being about 200-300 times sweeter than sugar; and Erythritol is only about 70% as sweet as sugar. Because of this, the combination of the two (in a very special recipe) is where magic happens in matching the flavor of sugar.  Monk fruit is the key ingredient.

We believe giving up sugar is one of the best choices we can make for our health. And a one-to-one sugar substitute is the most simple solution for people starting a healthier, sugar-free life without disrupting their normal cooking and baking routines.

Function 

(1) Low sweetness: the sweetness of erythritol is only 60% to 70% of sucrose, and the entrance has a cool taste, pure taste and no aftertaste.
(2) High stability: the acid and heat are very stable, the acid and alkali resistance are very high, and the decomposition and change will not occur under the temperature of 329 degrees.
(3) High solubility: 25 ℃ erythritol, the solubility of sugar alcohol is 36% (W/W), erythritol, sugar alcohols solubility increases, a rise of temperature than glucose, mannose, Arabian sugar alcohols solubility is high, easy to crystallization precipitation crystals.
(4) Low hygroscopicity: erythritol, sugar alcohol is very easy to crystallization, but none in 90% humidity environment moisture absorption, easy to crush get powder products, can be used for sour food surface to prevent moisture absorption.

(5) Low calorie: Erythritol has low calorie, because of its small molecular weight, it is easy to be absorbed by the human body, and only a small amount of Erythritol enters the large intestine of the human body and is fermented by microorganisms. And 80% Erythritol enters the human blood after being eaten by the human body, but it can not be metabolized by enzymes in the human body, does not provide energy for the body, and does not participate in sugar metabolism. Can be excreted from the body through urine.
(6) High tolerance: Erythritol has small molecular weight and little absorption, which is mainly excreted through urine, thus avoiding diarrhea caused by hyperosmotic phenomena and flatulence caused by intestinal bacterial fermentation.
(7) Anti-caries: Erythritol is not used by human oral bacteria, so it will not produce acidic substances to damage teeth, thus causing dental caries, inhibiting the growth of oral bacteria, thus playing a role in protecting teeth.

 Application 

(1) In Food: Erythritol is used in food as sugar substitute in Milk, Yogurt, Ice cream, Cheese, Cakes, Biscuits, Pastries, Chewing gum, Hard candies, Soft candies, Jelly, Protein powder, Chewable Tablets, Oral liquid.
(2) In Beverages: Erythritol is used in diet soft drinks, flavored waters and milks, sports drinks, smoothies, iced teas, frozen beverages and soy-based beverages. Carbonated beverage, Non-carbonated beverage, Dairy drinks.
(3) In Pharmaceutical: Erythritol is used in Solid dosage forms: Tablets, Coating agent, Lozenges, Diluent in wet granulation; Liquid dosage forms; Medicated confectionery, Medicated chewing gum in pharmaceutical.

(4) In Health and Personal care: Erythritol is used in Colour Cosmetics, Deodorants, Hair Care, Oral Care, Skin Care, Soap and Bath Products.

(5) In Agriculture/Animal Feed/Poultry: Erythritol can be used in animal feed/poultry feed.

(6) In Other Industries: Erythritol can be used in Detergents.
