Improves Quality

When compared to sucrose in baking, Sweet & Friendly Co. erythritol exhibits different melting behavior, a more compact dough, fewer colour formations, better moisture control and softer baked products.

In addition, the use of erythritol as a bulking agent can support sugar replacement strategies and allow for lower calorie profiles in many dairy products and frozen desserts. 

TABLETOP SWEETENER

Chewing gum coatings
  • Cost-effective combination of erythritol/sorbitol (ratio 40/60) for improved crunchy coating with better adhesion to centre in comparison to xylitol
  • Combines erythritol/maltitol (ratio 40/60) for improved crunchiness and lowest moisture pickup
Chewing gum sticks and center
  • Partial substitution of sorbitol with erythritol improves chewing gum process ability, texture (flexibility) and shelf life
Mint chewing gum
  • Provides an enhanced and long-lasting cooling effect 
Hard candies
  • Has a high cooling effect as a sherbet filling in stamped hard candies, or in double or triple layered hard candies when used in its crystalline form

  • Presents an excellent gloss, good snap and melting properties, and pleasant cooling effect (particularly for mint-flavoured chocolate products).
  • The cooling effect can be masked by using mixtures with inulin, isomalt or maltitol.
  • Higher conching temperatures are possible, resulting in enhanced flavour development.
  • Tooth-friendly milk chocolate can be made with normal lactose-containing milk powder.
