Sorbitol Liquid
Product Name: Sorbitol 70% Solution
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol, which is a poorly digestible carbohydrate that either naturally occurs in fruits or is semi-artificially produced and added as a low calorie sweetener to various commercial foods.
Sorbitol is chemically similar to fructose and mannitol.Other names for sorbitol: sorbit, glucitol.
Nutrition Facts:
* Calories per gram = 2.6
* Glycemic index (GI) = 9
* Sweetness, relative to sucrose = 60%
* Net crabs = zero
Foods High in Sorbitol
* Sorbitol occurs naturally in significant amounts in grapes, prunes, cherries, peaches, apples, pears and apricots and in related fruit juices.
* Sorbitol can be semi-artificially produced from glucose syrup, which can be derived from wheat, potato or cassava starch, and used as a low-calorie sweetener, humectant, bulking agent, texturizer or fat replacer in confectionery, candies, baked goods, diabetic jams, nutritional bars, shredded coconut, chewing gum, chocolate, diet soft drinks, surimi or cooked sausages
* In the European Union, sorbitol is labeled as E number E420
Sorbitol is a sugar substitute, and when used in food it has the INS number and E number 420. Sorbitol is about 60% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar).
Sorbitol is referred to as a nutritive sweetener because it provides dietary energy. It is often used in diet foods (including diet drinks and ice cream), mints, cough syrups, and sugar-free chewing gum. Most bacteria are unable to use sorbitol for energy, but it can be slowly fermented in the mouth by streptococcus mutans, a species of bacteria that cause tooth decay unlike many other sugar alcohols such as isomalt and xylitol, which are considered to be non-acidogenic.
It also occurs naturally in many stone fruits and berries from trees of the genus Sorbus.
Health Care, Food, and Cosmetic UsesSorbitol often is used in modern cosmetics as a humectant and thickener. It is also used in mouthwash and toothpaste. Some transparent gels can be made only with sorbitol, because of its high refractive index.
Beyond its use as a sugar substitute in reduced-sugar foods, Sorbitol is also used as a humectant in cookies and low-moisture foods like peanut butter and fruit preserves. In baking, it is also valuable because it acts as a plasticizer, and slows down the staling process.
Medical ApplicationsSorbitol is also used in the manufacture of softgel capsules to store single doses of liquid medicines.
A treatment for hyperkalaemia (elevated blood potassium) uses sorbitol and the ion-exchange resin sodium polystyrene sulfonate.

Sorbitol Powder
*Food Industry------Can be used as a sweetener, humectant, chelating agent and tissue modifier.
1. Sorbitol has good thermal stability and has a fragrance-preserving effect.It is a sugar-free functional sweetener and an important basic material for functional food. It can be used in sugar-free candies, cakes, surimi, and beverages as sweeteners and humectants.
2. Improve the organization and taste of food, make product more delicate. Adding sorbitol to food can prevent drying and cracking of food, keep food fresh and soft. It has obvious effect in bread and cakes.
Sorbitol does not contain aldehyde groups, it is not easy to be oxidized, and does't cause Maillard Reactions with amino acids when heated.
3. It has certain physiological activity and can prevent the denaturation of carotenoids, edible fat and protein.
Adding sorbitol to concentrated milk can prolong the shelf life
4. It has obvious stability and long-term preservation effect on fish sauce.
*Aquaculture------ Preservative for aquatic products, combined with free water, inhibits bacterial reproduction, stabilizes protein, and maintains the original color and fragrance of aquatic products.
*Pharmaceutical Industry------It is not converted into glucose in the human body, sugar-free. It can be used as a special sweetener for diabetic and obese patients, and it can also improve the intestinal environment, has a laxative effect, and has obvious effects on treating senile constipation and preventing hypertension.
*Healthcare and Cosmetics Industry-
1.It can strengthen teeth and prevent caries,can be used as a raw material for toothpaste. Sorbitol has sufficient stability and is suitable for excipients in various formulations. It can keep the paste lubricated, with good color and taste. Especially alkaline toothpaste, sorbitol can make transparent toothpaste, transparent soap, transparent cosmetics, and maintain long-term stability. Because of its special coolness, it is an excellent raw material for chewing gum.
*Chemical Industry
1. It can replace glycerol to produce alkyd resin because its properties are similar to glycerol.Compared with glycerin, sorbitol has a better cost performance under the condition of equal moisturizing properties.
2. Sorbitol can be used as the raw material for vitamin C production;
3. It can also be used as a raw material for syrup, injection infusion, pharmaceutical tableting, as a dispersant, filler, cryoprotectant, anti-crystallization agent, Chinese medicine stabilizer, wetting agent, capsule enhancer. Plasticizers, sweeteners, ointment bases, etc.
