CAS No.:149-32-6
Erythritol
Molecular Weight: 122.12
Molecular Formula: C14H10O4
CAS No.: 149-32-6
HS code: 2905499000
IUPAC name: (2S,3R)-butane-1,2,3,4-tetrol
Properties
(1) Low sweetness: The sweetness of erythritol is only 60%-70% of that of sucrose. The entrance has a cool taste, pure taste and no bitterness. It can be used in combination with high-intensity sweeteners to inhibit its high-intensity sweetness. Unpleasant flavor of the flavoring agent.
(2) High stability: very stable to acid and heat, high acid and alkali resistance, no decomposition and change at temperatures below 200 degrees, and no Maillard reaction to cause discoloration.
(3) High heat of dissolution: Erythritol has an endothermic effect when dissolved in water. The heat of dissolution is only 97.4KJ/KG, which is higher than the endothermic degree of glucose and sorbitol, and has a cooling feeling when eaten.
(4) Solubility: The solubility of erythritol at 25°C is 37% (W/W). As the temperature increases, the solubility of erythritol increases, and it is easy to crystallize and separate out crystals. (5) Low hygroscopicity: Erythritol is very easy to crystallize, but it will not absorb moisture in a 90% humidity environment, and it is easy to pulverize to obtain powdered products, which can be used on food surfaces to prevent food from absorbing moisture and deteriorating.
