Product Description

Product Introduction

Sorbitol, also known as glucitol,is a sugar alcohol, which the human body metabolizes slowly. It appears as a white, odorless crystalline powder or colorless crystal in its solid form, and can also exist as a clear, colorless viscous liquid in solution. Sorbitol is sweet-tasting, with a sweetness level approximately 60 - 70% that of sucrose, but with a lower caloric value. It is highly soluble in water, has good hygroscopicity, and is relatively stable under normal conditions.

Application

• Food Industry:
  • Sweetener: Used in various confectionery products such as chewing gum, hard candies, and chocolate coatings, as it does not cause tooth decay like sucrose and has a lower glycemic index. It also helps maintain the softness and chewiness of products like marshmallows.
  • Moisturizer: In baked goods like bread, cakes, and cookies, sorbitol can prevent moisture loss, extend the shelf life, and improve the texture of the products. It is also used in dairy products such as yogurt and ice cream to enhance creaminess and prevent ice crystal formation.
• Pharmaceutical Industry:
  • Excipient: Serves as a diluent, binder, and disintegrant in tablet and capsule formulations. For example, in chewable tablets, it can improve the taste and texture.
  • Osmotic Diuretic: High - concentration sorbitol solutions can be used to reduce intracranial pressure and intraocular pressure in medical treatments, such as for patients with cerebral edema or glaucoma.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care:
  • Moisturizer: Widely used in skin care products like lotions, creams, and serums to keep the skin hydrated. In toothpaste, it helps maintain moisture, prevent drying, and also has a sweetening effect to improve the taste.
• Industrial Applications:
  • Plastic Industry: Used as a plasticizer to improve the flexibility and toughness of plastics. It can also be used in the production of biodegradable plastics.
  • Surface - active Agent Synthesis: Sorbitol can be used as a raw material to produce various surfactants, which are important in industries such as detergents, textiles, and paints.
