Steviva Ingredients launches GMO-free Erysweet Erythritol

“Erysweet is unique in that it’s sourced from Europe, which provides quality, consistency and flow not always found with erythritol sourced from other geographic areas,” said Thom King, president of Steviva Ingredients. “Erysweet is the highest quality of erythritol available in the US.”

An all-natural sweetener produced through natural fermentation, the polyol is 70% as sweet as sugar and has a clean, slightly cooling, smooth flavour. It can also be paired with natural sweeteners to better mimic the texture and mouthfeel of sucrose.

Erysweet is synergistic with other sweeteners and masks bitter flavours of high-intensity sweeteners, making it ideal for use in a variety of applications including:

• Low-viscosity sauces, dressings, jams, jellies, fillings, icings, fondants, cream fillings and uncooked meal-replacement bars.
• Beverages, particularly fruit juices such as cranberry, cherry, orange juice and lemonade. Colas, root beers and ginger ales can also be formulated sweetly and without aftertaste (exceptionally pH stable).
• Bars, shakes, desserts and sweet baked goods (up to 90% sugar reduction).

At just 0.2 calories per gram and a low glycemic load, Erysweet is safe for diabetics and is Kosher-certified.

• Steviva Brands invests $500,000 in production facilities
