We supply a range of polyols (sugar alcohols) for reduced-sugar and sugar-free food and beverage formulations. Polyols provide sweetness together with functional properties such as bulk, texture and mouthfeel and can be combined with high-intensity sweeteners to achieve the desired sweetness profile. They generally provide 2.4 kcal/g, except erythritol at 0 kcal/g, and are characterised by a lower glycaemic impact than conventional sugars and non-cariogenic properties.
Erythritol (E 968) is a zero-calorie bulk sweetener that provides approx. 60–70% of the sweetness of sucrose. It offers a clean sweetness profile with characteristic cooling effect and is particularly suitable for beverages, confectionery, bakery products and tabletop sweeteners. Organic grades are available. Learn more about how erythritol can be used insugar-free ice cream formulation >
Maltitol (E 965) provides approx. 75–90% of the sweetness of sucrose together with good bulking and texturising properties. It is widely used in chocolate, confectionery, bakery products and fillings.
Xylitol (E 967) provides sweetness comparable to sucrose, together with a clean taste and characteristic cooling effect. It is commonly used in chewing gum, mints, confectionery and oral-care-related applications.
