▪Improve food characteristics

Cool and sweet feeling

Sorbitol is half as sweet as sucrose, with a cool sweet feeling. It can be used as a sweetener for mint candies and refreshing drinks.

Enhance mouthfeel

▪Meet functional demand

Non-cariogenic

When with high concentrations (≥60%), sorbitol has antimicrobial properties, is not used by streptococci in the mouth, and can slightly increase the PH in the mouth, which will not lead to dental caries.

Don’t raise blood sugar

Sorbitol metabolism has nothing to do with insulin in the body. The final products of sorbitol metabolism are carbon dioxide and water, which have no effect on blood glucose values.

No Maillard reaction

Sorbitol has no reducing property, stable chemical properties, no Maillard Browning reaction with amino acids, proteins, etc., so it can keep the original color of bakery goods when applied in baking.

Moisture retention

Sorbitol is a good moisturizer, it can keep moisture and absorb water in a humid environment. When the humidity decreases, it will release water to maintain the balance.

Application

▪ Food

As an additive, it can be used in candy, bakery, fish products, and frozen products as moisturizing agent, preservative and chelating agent,etc.

▪ Pharmaceutical

· Pharmaceuticals

Sorbitol has diuretic and dehydrating properties. Pharmaceutical grade sorbitol can be used in sorbitol injection and sorbitol iron injection,etc.

· Pharmaceutical raw materials

As a raw material for vitamin C

· Medical excipients

Compatible with a variety of auxiliary agents, used as solid dispersants, fillers, humectants and sweeteners,etc.

▪ Chemical

·Using the moisturizing properties of sorbitol, it can substitute glycerin in toothpaste, cigarettes and skin care products.

·Used to produce industrial surfactants

·Synthetic resins and plastics, separation and analysis of low-boiling oxygenated compounds,etc.

▪ Textile

Used as a metal ion scavenger for fabrics, a conditioner for nylon and propylene fibers, a leveling agent in printing and dyeing,etc.
