Product Introduction: Erythritol is a crystal product obtained by fermentation, refining and crystallization of glucose converted from corn using biological fermentation technology.
[Molecular formula] C4H10O4
[Molecular weight] 122.12
[Product specification] 25kg/bag
[Physical and chemical properties]
Its appearance is white crystalline granule or crystalline powder, its sweetness is about 60-70% of sucrose, solubility in water is 37% (25°), slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in ether. Melting point is119-123℃ and boiling point is 331℃.
[Product Features]
