Erythritol (에리스리톨)

Erythritol is a chemical compound, a sugar alcohol (or polyol), used as a food additive and sugar substitute. Its formula is C 4 H 10 O 4 , or HO(CH 2 )(CHOH) 2 (CH 2 )OH; specifically, one particular stereoisomer with that formula. Erythritol is 60–70% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar), yet it is almost noncaloric and does not affect blood sugar or cause tooth decay.
