Sorbitol Powder
ZIO
ZIO's Sorbitol Powder 98% is a premium, naturally derived polyol (sugar alcohol) ideal for sugar-free and functional products. Obtained through the hydrogenation of glucose, this white crystalline powder has a mild, cooling sweetness and a low glycemic index, making it suitable for health-conscious consumers. As a certified E420 food additive, it complies with global standards (SGS, HACCP, ISO 9001) for safety and consistency. Packaging options include 25kg bags, 500kg jumbo bags, and OEM/ODM packaging for brand customization—catering to small-batch and large-scale production alike. Whether you’re creating sugar-free candies, stabilizing pharmaceuticals, or improving cosmetic texture, ZIO’s Sorbitol Powder 98% is a reliable choice.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It has approximately 60% of sucrose’s sweetness, with a cooling aftertaste—ideal for sugar-free products where mild sweetness is desired.
Yes, its low glycemic index prevents blood sugar spikes. Diabetics can consume it moderately, but consult a healthcare provider for guidance.
Yes, it meets international standards (SGS, HACCP, ISO 9001) and is recognized as safe for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic use.
