Non-Alcoholic Beverages*

Zerose® erythritol is ideal for low-calorie soft drinks, flavored waters and milks, sports drinks, smoothies, iced teas, frozen beverages and soy-based beverages.

Benefits

  • Clean, sugar-like taste
  • Works well with high intensity sweeteners
  • Enhanced body and mouthfeel
  • Optimal freezing point depression
  • Excellent heat and acidity characteristics

*Safe for use in energy-reduced flavored (dairy) beverages at a maximum use level of 1.6% as a flavor enhancer.

 

Confectionery

Zerose® is the only polyol sweetener that allows significant calorie reduction in chocolate with excellent gloss, texture snap and melting characteristics. It helps to mask the aftertaste of high-intensity sweeteners, and the cooling effect is particularly appreciated in mint-flavored chocolate products.

Benefits:

  • Clean, sugar-like taste
  • Works well with high intensity sweeteners
  • Enhanced body and mouthfeel
  • Optimal freezing point depression
  • Excellent heat and acidity characteristics

Bakery

When compared to sucrose in baking, Zerose® erythritol exhibits different melting behavior, a more compact dough, less color formations, better moisture control and softer baked products.

Benefits

  • Great sugar-like taste in combination with intense sweeteners
  • Excellent heat and acid stability
  • Improved shelf life
  • Excellent water activity management
  • Enhanced bulk and body

Dairy & Ice Cream

The use of Zerose® erythritol as a bulking agent can support sugar replacement strategies and allow for lower-calorie profiles in many dairy products and frozen desserts such as pudding, yogurt, smoothies, ice cream or sorbet.

Benefits

  • Great sugar-like taste in combination with intense sweeteners
  • Excellent heat and acid stability
  • Improved shelf life
  • Excellent water activity management
  • Enhanced bulk and body
  • Optimal freezing point depression
