Brief Introduction:
Sorbitol is white hygroscopic powder or crystalline powder, flake or granule, odorless. Soluble in water (1g dissolves in about 0.45mL water), slightly soluble in ethanol and acetic acid. It has a cool sweet taste, the sweetness is about half of that of sucrose, and its calorific value is similar to that of sucrose. It is a nutritive sweetener, humectant, chelating agent and stabilizer, widely used in the production of food.
Sorbitol solution is a liquid product with a solid content of 69.0%~71.0% and a moisture content of no more than 31%.

Product Features:
1. Sorbitol has good moisture absorption and moisturizing properties, which can prevent food from drying out and aging, maintain freshness, softness, color and fragrance, and extend the shelf life of food. Such as ice cream, aquatic products, salads, condiments, bread, cakes, etc.

2. The sweetness of sorbitol is lower than that of sucrose. It is the raw material for the production of low-sweetness candies and sugar-free candies. It can be used as a sweetener and nutrient for patients with diabetes, liver disease, cholecystitis, and obesity. Not controlled by insulin. It can also process various anti-caries foods and chewing gum.

3. Sorbitol does not contain aldehyde groups, is not easy to be oxidized, does not produce Maillard reaction with amino acids when heated, prevents denaturation of carotenoids, fats and proteins, and prevents constipation.

4. In baked goods (cakes, biscuits, bread, snacks) will not be fermented by baking yeast, and will not be degraded by high temperature; used as sweeteners and moisturizers in pastries, surimi, and beverages; in concentrated milk, Adding sorbitol to butter (cheese), fish sauce, jam, and candied fruit can prolong the shelf life and maintain color, aroma, and taste.

5. Sorbitol can chelate metal ions. It can prevent turbidity caused by metal ions in beverages and wines. It can effectively prevent the crystallization of sugar and salt, maintain the balance of sour, sweet and bitter, and maintain the aroma of food.

6. Sorbitol liquid is also gradually popular in meat products. It can improve taste, increase flavor, impart color, increase product water retention, increase meat product yield, and reduce production costs in meat products.

Applications:
Due to its characteristics, sorbitol can be used as a base for toothpaste, tooth gel, and mouthwash in daily chemicals, as an excipient, moisturizer, abrasive, detergent, bactericide, astringent, adhesive, antifreeze agents, sweeteners. It can maintain moisture balance, lubricate the paste, have good color and taste, and prevent oral tissue inflammation even after dental surgery. Because of its moisturizing protection and cool, comfortable and delicious sweet taste, the addition amount can reach 30%.

Sorbitol is the basic raw material for the production of cosmetic skin care products, car beauty and emulsifiers (Span, Tween). Because of its special properties such as moisture retention, surface crystallization, emulsification and dispersion, and microcrystalline effect in the film. It can be used as a non-irritating wetting agent, humectant, and emulsifier to stabilize emulsions and suspensions to prevent dry skin. Paste makeup and skin care products such as face cream and lotion using sorbitol can effectively maintain moisture without feeling greasy and sticky, and can also increase the elasticity of the film to avoid sticking. More than 10% sorbitol can be used in bath liquid and face cream; 5-10% can be used in hair milk and hair gel, and more than 2% can be used in colloid; more than 5% can be used in deodorant and antiperspirant in viscous products. In the emulsifier, it plays the role of stabilizing the emulsion and suspension. Sorbitol emulsifier has good wetting, emulsifying and dispersing effects, better foaming properties and improved shape.

Sorbitol is the raw material for the production of cellulase (enzyme) and emulsifier.
