Erythritol

Glycemic Index (GI) of 1 with no insulin spike. It is safely excreted through urine because the human body can’t do anything with it. It has a sweetness of 70% compared to sucrose. Erythritol has a strong cooling effect in its crystalized form. It is very stable up to 160°C but most people confuse this sweetener and replace it completely as a sugar replacement. You cannot make a cake with only erythritol because it is not a bulking agent, nor does it provide structure to your preparation. You need a support ingredient e.g. another sweetener or a fiber. If you try to caramelize erythritol it will never change its color and evaporate. If you try to make a syrup with only erythritol and it cools down, it will recrystallize immediately. Erythritol is a perfect sweetener in addition to your own sugar replacement combination . Don’t use it as a one on one replacement but as an addition (like it was meant to be)
