Sorbitol
Industrial Applications
Sorbitol is widely used in the food and nutrition industry as a low-calorie sweetener, humectant, and texturizing agent. It is commonly added to baked goods, chewing gum, candies, and diabetic-friendly or reduced-sugar products due to its lower glycemic index and approximately 60% sweetness compared to sucrose. In personal care products, sorbitol functions as a humectant to maintain skin hydration in lotions, creams, and facial cleansers, and it is also used as a thickening agent, plasticizer, and stabilizer in toothpaste.
Physical Properties
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol naturally found in fruits such as apples, pears, and peaches, and is commercially produced from glucose. It is a white, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic in nature. Sorbitol has a sweet taste, retains moisture effectively, and exhibits good chemical stability, making it suitable for both food formulations and personal care products.
