Mild Natural Sugar-Free Sorbitol Powder


Key Ingredients


The core component is sorbitol (chemical name: D-sorbitol), with a molecular formula of C₆H₁₄O₆ and CAS No.: 50-70-4. It boasts a minimum purity of 98%, ensuring minimal impurities and adherence to food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic grade requirements. Classified as E420 (a globally recognized food additive), this sorbitol is low in calories (≈2.6 kcal/g) and biodegradable. Its chemical structure—featuring six hydroxyl groups—enables strong hygroscopicity (moisture retention) and heat stability, making it versatile for diverse manufacturing processes. Unlike sucrose, it does not spike blood sugar, solidifying its role as a top sugar-free sweetener.


Product Benefits


Food Industry Advantages

As a sugar-free sweetener, it provides 60% of sucrose’s sweetness with a cooling taste—perfect for sugar-free chewing gums, candies, baked goods, and beverages. It acts as an humectant in bakeries, retaining moisture to prevent staleness and extend shelf life. It also works as a stabilizer in dairy products and jams, maintaining texture and freshness.


Pharmaceutical Benefits

It functions as a key excipient in tablets, capsules, and syrups, improving drug stability and masking bitter tastes. It has mild laxative properties, making it useful in digestive health products, and acts as a diluent to enhance the solubility of active ingredients.


Cosmetic & Personal Care Utility

As a humectant, it locks in moisture in toothpaste, creams, lotions, and shampoos, keeping skin and hair hydrated. It also serves as a thickener, enhancing product spreadability, and its non-irritating nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin and baby care items.


Industrial Applications

In plastics, textiles, and papermaking, it acts as a plasticizer, improving material flexibility and durability. It is also used in leather processing to enhance softness and reduce cracking.


Precautions


Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, and keep packaging tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption (which causes clumping).

Diabetic Use: While safe for diabetics (low glycemic index), moderate intake is recommended. Excessive consumption may cause mild digestive discomfort (e.g., bloating).

Allergy Alert: Rarely, individuals with sorbitol intolerance may experience reactions. For cosmetic use, perform a patch test and discontinue if irritation occurs.

Grade Compliance: Use food grade sorbitol (E420) for edibles and pharmaceutical grade for medicines to meet industry regulations.
