Pure Sorbitol Sweetener CAS 50-70-4 for Food Industry

Product Description

Sorbitol is a polyol (sugar alcohol) and a new kind of sweetener, produced from purified glucose via hydrogenation refining and concentration.

It is a natural sugar alcohol with low calorie, mild sweet taste, about 60% sweetness of sucrose. It owns excellent moisturizing property, heat resistance and chemical stability, not easy to ferment and oxidize. It will not raise blood sugar, safe for diabetic people to eat.

Synonyms:D-Sorbitol;sorbitol;D-Glucitol;glucitol
CAS accession number: 50-70-4
Molecular Formula: C6H14O6
Molecular Weight:182.17g/mol
EEC No.: E420

Characters

· Metabolic property: When absorbed by the human body, it spreads slowly and oxidizes to fructose, participating in fructose metabolism. It does not affect blood sugar or urine sugar, making it suitable for diabetics as a sweetener.

· Sensory property: It is about 60% as sweet as sucrose, with one-third fewer calories, a smooth mouthfeel, and a sweet, cool, pleasant taste.

· Functional features: High moisture-retention, acid resistance, non-fermentative nature, and cannot be utilized by most bacteria.

· Chemical stability: It is not easily oxidized by air, does not react with acids/alkalis, and resists fermentation by microorganisms. It also has excellent heat resistance, with no decomposition at temperatures up to 200℃.

Quality Standard Comply with FCC, BP, EP food safety standards
