Application
Meso-Erythritol (i-Erythritol) is a precursor to the important tanning agent L-erythrulose which can be commercially generated by Gluconobacter oxydans DSM 7145. Meso-Erythritol may be used to support the carbon source growth requirement of Gluconobacter bacteria. It is an aliphatic poly-alcohol used in the chemical analysis of the reactivity of various radicals and radical anions. Meso-Erythritol may be used in encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) to study its potential use in microelectronics cooling applications. It may be used as a reference compound in purification and analytical procedures developed to test fermentation broths.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Allelic variation of the Tas1r3 gene affects behavioral taste responses to this sugar alcohol, suggesting that it is a T1R3 receptor ligand.

Previous studies have demonstrated various combinations of non-nutritive erythritol and sucrose having detrimental effects on Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura). Fly mortality is likely caused by 1) starvation from feeding on non-metabolizable erythritol; and 2) physiological imbalance with abnormally high osmotic pressure

Keratinocytes were dissociated from normal human adult epidermis with clostridial collagenase, dithio-erythritol and trypsin, and cultured. Immediately after this, no connection was seen between contiguous cells. Ruptured desmosomes, with masses of tonofilaments and distinct attachment plaques were still left on

Three strains, LMG 27748(T), LMG 27749 and LMG 27882 with identical MALDI-TOF mass spectra were isolated from samples taken from the brewery environment. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain LMG 27748(T) revealed that the taxon it represents
