About Erythritol
Erythritol is a type of sugar alcohol (polyol) commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener in food products. It occurs naturally, in some fruits like melons, grapes, and pears, as well as in fermented foods like wine and soy sauce.
However, the erythritol used commercially is typically produced by fermenting glucose from corn or wheat starch using yeast.
