It is a naturally-occurring sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables, including pears, grapes, melons, and mushrooms. Erythritol was first discovered in 1848 by a German chemist, John Thresh, who was studying fermentation. It was in the late 20th century that Erythritol was produced commercially from glucose.
Today, organic Erythritol is used in many products as a low-calorie sweetener, providing a sweet taste without the calories or sugar of regular sugar. It is also known for its cooling sensation when it dissolves in the mouth. Organic Erythritol is widely accepted as a safe food additive and is approved for use in various products, from chewing gum to baked goods.
It is also used as a sugar replacement in products such as diet sodas and yogurt.
