Sorbitol, also known as D-Glucitol, is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol (polyol) that is widely used in the global food industry as a sweetener, humectant, stabilizer, and texturizer. It naturally exists in various fruits, including apples, pears, peaches, and plums. Commercially, sorbitol is produced from corn starch or other plant?based starches through hydrolysis, refining, and catalytic hydrogenation processes of glucose. It is available in two convenient forms: crystalline sorbitol powder (food industrial grade) and sorbitol liquid (solution) , both produced using advanced hydrogenation and purification technologies.
Sorbitol (crystalline and liquid) is one of the most widely used polyol sweeteners in the global food industry. According to GB 2760?2024, sorbitol and sorbitol solution (CNS 19.006, 19.023) are permitted as sweeteners, humectants, stabilizers, and texturizers in various food categories. Below are key application categories and recommended usage levels.
