    Abstract：Erythritol is a kind of adding sweetener with lower calorie, cool taste and edible safety. This paper introduces the current status and development tendency of the research and production of erythritol, and discusses the biosynthetic pathway of erythritol produced by an osmophilic yeast. The application of erythritol is also included and some opinions on the research and development of erythritol are presented.

    Key words：erythritol; production; biosynthetic pathway; application
