Sorbitol Powder is a crystalline powder, flake or granular that is widely used in various industries due to its unique properties and benefits. It is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that is found in many fruits and berries and is produced commercially by the catalytic hydrogenation of glucose syrups.
It is easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in methanol, ethanol and acetic acid, absorbs a lot of heat when it dissolves in water, and has the cool taste. Sorbitol has 60% sweet taste and 2/3 calorie as sucrose.
There are several applications of Sorbitol Powder, including its use as a humectant, sweetener, and texturizer in the food and beverage industry. Sorbitol is referred to as a nutritive sweetener because it provides dietary energy: 2.6 kilocalories (11 kilojoules) per gram versus the average 4 kilocalories (17 kilojoules) for carbohydrates. It is often added to food products such as sugar-free candies, baked goods, and chewing gums to impart a sweet taste and help retain moisture, preventing them from becoming dry and hard.
In addition to the food and beverage industry, Sorbitol Powder is also used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products.
