Erythritol
Origin: Erythritol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol (polyol) found in fruits like grapes, melons, and pears, as well as in fermented foods such as soy sauce and wine. Commercially, erythritol is typically produced via fermentation of glucose using yeast or other microorganisms, resulting in a pure, crystalline sweetener. Its stability, non-cariogenic properties, and low-calorie profile make it an ideal ingredient for oral care formulations such as toothpaste and chewing gums.
