Erythritol
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol (or polyol), used as a food additive and sugar substitute. It is naturally occurring and is made from corn using enzymes and fermentation. Its formula is C4H10O4, or HO(CH2)(CHOH)2(CH2)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. Erythritol occurs widely in nature and has been found to occur naturally in several foods including wine, sake, beer, watermelon, pear, grape, and soy sauce. Evidence indicates that erythritol also exists endogenously in the tissues and body fluids of humans and animals. Erythritol is absorbed from the proximal intestine by passive diffusion in a manner similar to that of many low molecular weight organic molecules which do not have associated active transport systems. The rate of absorption is related to their molecular size. It passes through the intestinal membranes at a faster rate than larger molecules such as mannitol or glucose. In diabetics, erythritol has also been shown to be rapidly absorbed and excreted unchanged in the urine. Following absorption, ingested erythritol is rapidly distributed throughout the body and has been reported to occur in hepatocytes, pancreatic cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells. Erythritol also has been reported to cross the human placenta and to pass slowly from the plasma into the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (PMID:9862657). Erythritol is found to be associated with ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency, which is an inborn error of metabolism. Bulk sweetener with good taste props. Not metabolised, excreted unchanged in urine. Less sweet than sucrose. Use not yet permitted in most countries (1997).

D-Sedoheptulose 7-phosphate
D-Sedoheptulose 7-phosphate (CAS: 2646-35-7) is an intermediate of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) that has two functions: (1) the generation of NADPH for reductive syntheses and oxidative stress responses within cells, and (2) the formation of ribose residues for nucleotide and nucleic acid biosynthesis (PMID: 16055050). It is formed by transketolase and acted upon (degraded) by transaldolase. Sedoheptulose 7-phosphate can be increased in the blood of patients affected with a transaldolase deficiency, a genetic disorder (PMID: 12881455). Sedoheptulose is a ketoheptose, a monosaccharide with seven carbon atoms and a ketone functional group. It is one of the few heptoses found in nature (Wikipedia). D-Sedoheptulose 7-phosphate is an intermediate of the Pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) that has two functions: the generation of NADPH for reductive syntheses and oxidative stress responses within cells, and the formation of ribose residues for nucleotide and nucleic acid biosynthesis.
