Sorbitol, a Natural and Nutritious Sweetener

Sorbitol, also known as sorbitol, is a natural plant sweetener with a refreshing taste, often used in the manufacture of chewing gum or sugar-free candies. It still produces calories after consumption, so it is a nutritious sweetener, but the calories are only 2.6 calories/g (about 65% of sucrose) and the sweetness is about half of sucrose.

Sorbitol powder, an important chemical raw material, comes from a variety of sources. It is usually produced by hydrogenation of glucose in the presence of a nickel catalyst. This preparation process is relatively environmentally friendly and efficient, ensuring a stable supply of sorbitol powder.

Sorbitol can be produced by the reduction of glucose. Sorbitol is widely found in fruits, such as apples, peaches, dates, plums and pears, and other natural foods, with a content of about 1% to 2%. Its sweetness is comparable to that of glucose, but it gives a sense of richness. It is slowly absorbed and utilised in the body with no increase in blood glucose levels. It is also a better humectant and surfactant.

Sorbitol is an important industrial raw material, used in medicine, chemical industry, light industry, food and other industries, in the domestic sorbitol is mainly used in the production of vitamin C. At present, China’s total output and production scale of sorbitol in the world are in the forefront.

It is one of the earliest sugar alcohols allowed to be used as food additives in Japan, used to improve food moisturising, or as a thickener. Can be used as a sweetener, such as often used in the manufacture of sugar-free chewing gum. It is also used as a moisturising agent and excipient in cosmetics and toothpaste, and can be used as a glycerol substitute.

In terms of efficacy, sorbitol powder excels. Firstly, due to its low calorie profile, it is ideal for consumers who are concerned about their health and weight management. It can satisfy the need for sweetness without increasing excessive calorie intake.

One of the advantages of sorbitol is that it is an edible sweetener for diabetics and is not absorbed by the body.

Secondly, sorbitol powder plays an important moisturising role in cosmetics. It can effectively lock the moisture, keep the skin hydrated and smooth, reduce dryness and wrinkles, and improve the elasticity and luster of the skin. In addition, sorbitol powder also has certain antiseptic properties, which helps to extend the shelf life of the product.
