Erythritol is a natural, zero calorie bulk sweetener, with a taste and functionality similar to sucrose. It has the highest digestive tolerance compared to other polyol sweeteners. It is also non-cariogenic, and does not promote tooth decay, making it an excellent ingredient for products positioned to promote oral health.

Erythritol appears as a white crystalline, odorless product which rapidly dissolves in water (up to 60 g/100 ml at 30°C) to give a brilliantly clear, low viscosity, colorless solution. It is the first polyol to be industrially manufactured by a fermentation process with starting material a simple sugar-rich substrate.
