Product overview

Bulk Fermented Erythritol (100-Mesh & Granular) is supplied at ≥ 99.5 % Erythritol · HPLC, delivering 70 % of sucrose with 0 kcal / g (0.2 kcal/g EU) and a glycaemic index of 0. Minimum order is 25 kg (1 fibre drum) · free 100 g sample, and every batch ships with a batch-specific COA.

What it is. Erythritol — a four-carbon polyol (sugar alcohol) produced by fermentation rather than hydrogenation. Botanical / chemical identity: meso-Erythritol (C4H10O4). CAS: 149-32-6.

How it is made. Fermentation of glucose from maize starch using an osmophilic yeast, followed by heat inactivation, decolourisation, ion-exchange purification, concentration and crystallisation.

Performance in application. It is a crystalline bulk sweetener with a clean cooling taste and a high digestive tolerance relative to other polyols. It is heat-stable and non-hygroscopic, which is why it is the standard choice for tabletop sachets, sugar-free chocolate and compressed tablets.

Why buyers choose this grade. 70 % of sucrose at 0 kcal / g (0.2 kcal/g EU) with a glycaemic index of 0 makes it the reference bulk sweetener for sugar-free chocolate, chewing gum and tabletop sachets. Because it is non-hygroscopic it does not cake in storage.

Quality and documentation. Every batch is released against a batch-specific certificate of analysis covering assay, moisture, ash, heavy metals, microbiological limits and a 450+ compound pesticide multi-residue screen. Halal and Kosher certificates are issued against the producing plant, and third-party verification is available on request.

Supply and logistics. 25 kg (1 fibre drum) · free 100 g sample. Stocked grades ship within 3–5 business days from the Guangzhou warehouse. Incoterms offered are FOB Nansha / Yantian, CIF, CFR and DDP door-to-door by air or express.

Frequently asked questions

JECFA assigned erythritol an ADI of 'not specified', the most favourable category. It is authorised in the EU as E 968 and permitted under China's GB 2760. Like all polyols, excessive intake can have a laxative effect, which is why the EU requires a warning label above a threshold.
Both the United States and the European Union have imposed anti-dumping measures on Chinese erythritol, which materially changes landed cost. We supply full commercial documentation and can model landed cost under different Incoterms so you can compare sourcing options properly.
It does not brown. For bakery applications where crust colour matters, pair it with a small proportion of allulose or tagatose, which do participate in Maillard browning.
It has a high negative heat of solution, so dissolving it in the mouth absorbs heat. In chocolate and mint applications this is desirable; in dairy it can be masked with fat or a small amount of allulose.
100-mesh powder for confectionery and chocolate, and 30–60 mesh granular for tabletop blends and direct compression. Other granulations are milled to order.
MOQ is 25 kg (one fibre drum). Stocked grades ship from the Guangzhou warehouse in 3–5 business days.
