Cerestar product accepted in Israel
all-natural, non-caloric bulk sweetener, C*Eridex (Erythritol) for
use in food.
Israel has accepted starch derivative company Cerestar's all-natural, non-caloric bulk sweetener, C*Eridex (Erythritol) for use in food.
This latest approval follows the approval of the ingredient in Russia. It is already marketed in Japan, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Taiwan and Singapore.
C*Eridex - a high purity crystalline erythritol - is an all-natural non-caloric bulk sweetener produced from starch by fermentation.
Set to find wide application in the diet food sector, C*Eridex can be used in sugar-free low calorie foods and diet beverages. Cerestar claims that in chocolate, C*Eridex can allow up to 30 per cent calorie reduction by using erythritol. In low or zero calorie drinks such as tea and coffee, C*Eridex can contribute to the body and mouthfeel, and can mask bitterness and astringency.
