Erythritol (Fine Powder, 100 Mesh) is a food-grade polyol sweetener (E 968 / INS 968) for brands that want sugar reduction with real bulk and a clean sweetness profile. It is typically about 60-70% as sweet as sucrose, gives very low energy contribution, and has a much lower post-meal blood-glucose impact than sugar for most users.

The fine 100 mesh powder helps formulators build smoother texture and faster dispersion than coarser grades. Erythritol is especially useful in sugar-free, no-added-sugar, reduced-sugar, and low-glycemic concepts where sweetness, body, and mouthfeel all matter.

Best-fit applications

• Beverages, drink powders, and instant mixes
• Confectionery, mints, gum, and hard or soft candy systems
• Chocolate, fillings, spreads, and fat-based sweet systems
• Bakery, bars, dairy products, and frozen desserts
• Sweetener blends with stevia, monk fruit, sucralose, allulose, or a small amount of sugar for a rounder taste profile

Formulation value

• Sweetness: about 60-70% of sucrose, useful alone or as the bulking base in high-intensity sweetener blends
• Bulk and mouthfeel: adds solids and body that high-intensity sweeteners cannot provide by themselves
• Cooling effect: erythritol dissolves endothermically, giving a fresh cooling sensation that is attractive in mints and gum and can be balanced in chocolate or beverage systems
• Browning control: erythritol systems may brown less than sucrose systems, which is useful when a cleaner color is desired
• Texture control: as a crystalline polyol, erythritol can recrystallize in some syrups, fillings, and fat systems; control water activity, cooling curve, solids balance, and particle size to avoid sandiness

Use guidance: Start from the target sweetness, cooling effect, bulk, and texture, then adjust the blend and process for the specific product. Results vary by formula type and processing conditions.

Safety and regulatory context: Erythritol is permitted as a food additive in many markets, including EU E 968 and Thailand INS 968, and has U.S. GRAS notices for intended food uses. Like other polyols, high intake can cause bloating or laxation in sensitive consumers, so serving size and label warnings should be designed appropriately. As a practical product-development range, many teams keep typical daily exposure around 5-30 g/day depending on consumer group and product category, then validate taste and tolerance. EFSA has set an ADI of 0.5 g/kg body weight/day, primarily based on gastrointestinal tolerance.

Reference context retained: the product positioning above is consistent with polyol sweetener literature, FDA GRAS notice GRN 789, Foods (MDPI) 2023 formulation discussion, and EFSA safety review context.

Appearance: white fine powder.
