Xucker Light tin (erythritol)

Table-top sweetener based on erythritol 
for food, limited use, with sweetener.

Erythritol is a calorie-free, ^{tooth-friendly4} sugar substitute made from natural raw materials.

Xucker Light is the ideal sweetener as part of a calorie-conscious diet. Erythritol crystals look similar to sugar or xylitol. Erythritol is easily soluble and is the best tolerated of all sugar alcohols, as it is excreted almost completely unchanged.

In Japan, erythritol has been used in many foods and medicines since 1990. Diabetics in particular appreciate its absolutely blood sugar-neutral properties. Erythritol was authorised as a foodstuff in the USA in 1997 and in the EU in 2006 without any quantity restrictions.

Xucker Light in use

It is less suitable for making jam because it crystallises. For the production of pastries and cakes, we recommend that the weight proportion of Xucker Light (erythritol) does not exceed 25 %. Mixed with xylitol in a 1:1 ratio, erythritol is very suitable for baking. To be used as a sugar substitute: 1g Xucker Light=approx. 0.7g sugar
