赤藓糖醇在食品工业中的应用

Erythritolis a newly developed 4-carbon sugar alcohol that can be produced by fermentation of glucose. It is a white crystalline powder with a refreshing sweetness, not easy to absorb moisture, stable at high temperature, stable in a wide pH range, and when dissolved in the mouth It has a mild cooling sensation and is suitable for a variety of foods.

Main Nature

• ①甜蜜
  The sweetness of erythritol is only 60%-70% of that of sucrose. It has a refreshing taste, pure taste, and no bitterness. It can be used in combination with high-power sweeteners to suppress the bad flavor of high-power sweeteners.
• ②High stability
  酸和热量非常稳定，具有高酸和耐碱性。它不会分解并更改低于200度，并且不会因美丽的反应而改变颜色。
• ③溶解热量高
  Erythritol has an endothermic effect when it is dissolved in water. The heat of dissolution is only 97.4KJ/KG, which is higher than glucose and sorbitol. It has a cooling sensation when consumed.
• ④所以lubility
  The solubility of erythritol at 25°C is 37% (W/W). As the temperature rises, the solubility of erythritol increases, making it easy to crystallize and precipitate crystals.
• ⑤流吸湿性
  Erythritol is very easy to crystallize, but it will not absorb moisture in a 90% humidity environment, and it is easy to crush to obtain a powdered product, which can be used on the surface of the food to prevent food from deteriorating due to moisture absorption.

Applications in the food industry

• 饮料类
  In recent years, erythritol has been used in the development of新的零卡路里，低卡路里饮料。红细胞可以增加饮料的甜味，沉重和平滑度，同时减少苦味，也可以掩盖其他气味并改善饮料的味道。赤藓糖醇还可用于刷新固体饮料，因为赤藓糖核醇在溶解时吸收大量热量;赤藓糖醇可以促进乙醇分子和水分子的组合，并且酒精饮料可以降低气味，饮酒感可以有效地提高酒和葡萄酒的质量。赤藓糖醇还可以显着改善植物提取物，胶原蛋白，肽和其他物质的令人不快的气味。因此，已经添加了一些胶原蛋白产品用赤藓糖醇添加以改善口感。

• Baked goods
  Sucrose and oil are the main raw materials for making bakery products. They play a very important role in forming the unique structure, taste, and flavor of bakery products. They are indispensable raw materials for the production of high-quality bakery products. Erythritol is a proven raw material. It can not only replace sucrose in physical and chemical aspects, but also bring health benefits, and the bakery products that use erythritol have better structural tightness and softness than products that also use sucrose as raw materials. And there are different mouth-melting properties and subtle color differences. The erythritol used in bakery products is preferably in powder form or crystals with fine particle size (<200um). The fine particles will give the product a smooth and round taste.
  
  Baked products contain high-component flour, butter, and sucrose. It is difficult to prove that their products can reduce calories. However, the application of erythritol can easily solve this problem.
• Candy
  Nowadays, the confectionery and chocolate market has been transformed from the early use of sucrose as the basic raw material to the new low-sugar and low-calorie sugar base as the raw material. In recent years, functional sugar products have been hyped up in the market and have become an international market nowadays. Consumption hotspots and development focus of the candy market, the market potential is huge. However, not all low-calorie and low-sugar sugar bases can replace sucrose in the production of candy and chocolate. The new raw materials used must be able to replace sucrose in terms of taste and physics and chemistry and must be beneficial to human health. Long-term practical research has proved that the new functional material erythritol fully meets the requirements, and the taste of erythritol is the same as that of sucrose. There is no need to add strong sweeteners such as aspartame or saccharin. Use erythritol. Compared with other "non-sucrose" candies, the made candies have a refresher and colder taste, with pure sweetness and no bad aftertaste; and the joint use of erythritol and other sugar alcohols can increase the tolerance and reduce the unilateral use. risk. It is best to use high-purity erythritol crystalline powder in candy chocolate so that better quality and taste can be obtained.
• Pharmaceutical industry
  Erythritol's anti-caries, anti-oxidation, moisturizing and non-flammability properties make its application in the fields of medicine and daily chemicals continue to expand.
