What is the percentage by volume of erythritol and what percentage is Luo Han Guo?

I don't know....I just know that it is very sweet.There is another brand that is just Luo Han Guo. The erythritol does not agreed with me.IT gives me alot of gas, and since I don't drink alcohol, it has the same effects as if I was drinking.

I'd imagine the monk fruit (or lo Han Guo) would be less than 5% the rest being erythritol

1 tsp of this has 4g sugar alcohols. 1tsp of pure erythritol has 4g sugar alcohols. Sounds like the actual amount of monk fruit here is negligible. I call shenanigans...

What I've found is that that information is proprietary and they don't want to give it out. The nutrition information only lists the 4g "sugar alcohols" (i.e. erythritol) per serving size, but not how much luo han. When I was mixing my own stevia-erythritol blend, I found that a 1 : 250-300g ratio will make it taste something like this, where the stevia isn't too strong with the aftertaste (Truvia for instance uses too much stevia and it still has the aftertaste). So for 10g of erythritol to sweeten a cup of tea or something, you would add about .03 g (or 30mg) of stevia, or a single 45mg scoop that comes in some stevia jars would be good. So the luo han should be similar; perhaps with a lesser ratio since it doesn't have quite as bitter a taste.

What the container says is: "Stevita Spoonable Stevia uses only stevia extract with at least 95% pure glycosides (extremely sweet tasting ingredients of the Stevia herb leaves), and erythritol, a crystal granulated naturally produced filler found in fruit, vegetables and grains."

The carbs are listed as 4g, which is the "sugar alcohols", which is the erythritol. However, NET-carbs of erythritol are zero (hence, it's also called "Zerose"), since it is excreted before it can enter the blood stream.

No percentage on label. Just say high menthol content. It may say on the company website

I bought this product only once, and didn't notice that no % was listed. My usual brand is Cell Nutritionals by OurHealthCo-op (ourhealthcoop.com). It says "minimum of 70%."

Hi Mike, Here is your answer and maybe more than you asked for but hope is helpful...I find more info is usually much better than too little!... Two ingredients: Erythritol & Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) Both are zero on glycemic index. Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) tastes much more like sugar whereas Stevia an herb (Rebiana leaves,a chrysanthemum relative) has just a little bit of an aftertaste. Erythritol, a type of sugar alcohol, is absorbed into your blood stream, but does not readily enter any of your body's cells and is usually excreted through your urine. It does not tend to cause gastric distress like Sorbitol, Xylitol or particularly Malitol. I like to mix the ratio of 2 parts Demerara Sugar, 1 part Great Value Zero calorie sweetener (Erythritol & Stevia), & 1 part Lakanto. Excellent combination of taste and very little real sugar. Saves money using some Stevia (the Lakanto is quite expensive but great stuff). Stevia in the Raw brand is more expensive than the Great Value. Also it has Dextrose and Maltodextrin listed in the ingredients. Bad stuff. Dextrose is simply a form of glucose. Maltodextrin is a GMO corn derivative with an extremely high glycemic index of 150 produced from rice, potato or corn starch. It is known to contain MSG and it doesn't need to state that on the ingredient label. Monk Fruit in the Raw also has either Dextrose or Maltodextrin or both. Both Stevia in the Raw and Monkfruit in the Raw on the box make it seem as if they do not contain other stuff, but on the product label and packets, it shows the bad stuff.

...just read the ingredients on our container, it is stevia extract (95%) and erythritol (5%)... ( crystal granulated naturally produced filler found in fruits, vegetables, and grains). yep, they did sneak that "grains" in there.

No. The only ingredient is erythritol, a zero-calorie, fat free natural sugar found in fruits and fermented foods. Google it.

I can not Find the Percentage amount. On the bottle the first thing it says is " Due to the High Menthol Content" that's, All I know. You might contact, Plant Therapy's, Web Site & see if That can Help You!

I don't know a percentage but very little to none. Most of the can is solvent and propellant. Once the solvent evaporates, there is only a trace amount of silicone left on the surface. As a mater of fact, I had Amazon replace my first can as I thought had CRC left out the silicone. This is not what I was looking for as this seems to be a very specialized spray and will not really lube anything. This is what I was looking for --> CRC Heavy Duty Water Based Silicone Lubricant.

The bag says 100% Pure Erythritol Crystals - non GMO, Gluten Free. The photo they used is wrong.

Monk Fruit Extract, Erythritol are the active ingredients. Less than 1 gr. Molasses, and less than 1 gr if sugar for taste. Molasses & sugar content are insignificant.

Here is a quote that I found..."Erythritol has the best nutritional profile of all the sugar alcohols. It has .02 usable calories per gram. So, in order to make 1 gram of carb, you need to use enough erythritol to make 4 calories. That would be 4 calories divided by .02 calories per gram = 200 grams of erythritol to make one gram of carb.I think it could be considered functionally zero carbs, since you are unlikely to eat 200 grams of erythritol in one sitting."

My bag was 5 pounds. The picture does not always indicate what type of bag you will receive in the mail. The first time I ordered a 5 pound bag of erythritol on line (uncertain who I bought it from) the bag that was shipped to me said on the clear plastic bag that it was cherry flavored sorbitol. I was quite upset until I tasted it. Thankfully it was just plain and lovely erythritol. And certainly no cherry flavoring. So don't trust the picture.

This is non-gmo erythritol, not palm sugar. Erythritol is typically sourced from corn or wheat starch, in this case, and most importantly, non-gmo. Erythritol is considered by health and fitness experts to be a safe, low glycemic substitute for sugar. Like sugar, they say, it should be used sparingly in the diet. This may be more information than you want to have, but here is a link to an article telling how it is manufactured... http://www.decodedscience.com/erythritol-made-manufacture-low-calorie-sugar-substitute/42248.

The ratio would be half of what the extract called for. Enjoy. My son loves this in smoothies.

ERYTHRITOL IS THE PRIMARY INGREDIENT in this sweetener, not stevia. Erythritol is listed before the other ingredient, stevia rebaudiana, which means there's more erythritol than stevia in this sweetener. MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE [cleverly written] LABEL - it says "we use only stevia extract with at least 95% pure glycosides" - get that? That means that the stevia extract - the SECONDARY ingredient in this product - contains at least 95% steviol glycoside. IT DOES NOT MEAN that 95% is stevia and the rest is erythritol ... far from it. If the actual amounts of erythritol and stevia were openly disclosed on the label, they'd never sell much of it.
