Sorbitol, a polyol (sugar alcohol), available as viscous syrup or crystalline powder, it is a benign polyhydric alcohol with six hydroxyl groups. It is a bulk sweetener found in numerous food products. In addition to providing sweetness, it is an excellent humectant and texturizing agent. Sorbitol is about 60 percent as sweet as sucrose with one-third fewer calories. It has a smooth mouthfeel with a sweet, cool and pleasant taste. It is non-cariogenic and may be useful to people with diabetes. Sorbitol has been safely used in processed foods for almost half a century. It is also used in other products, such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Product Feature
Sorbitol provides bulk and sweetness with a clean, cool pleasant taste.
- Sorbitol is used as a humectant in many types of products for protection against loss of moisture content.
- Sorbitol is very stable and chemically unreactive. It can withstand high temperatures and does not participate in maillard (browning) reactions.
- Sorbitol does not promote tooth decay, it is resistant to metabolism by oral bacteria which break down sugars and starches to release acids that may lead to cavities or erode tooth enamel.
- Sorbitol uses in the diets of people with diabetes and fattiness, Sorbitol is slowly absorbed. Therefore, when sorbitol is used, the rise in blood glucose and the insulin response associated with the ingestion of glucose is significantly reduced. The reduced caloric value (2.6 calories per gram versus 4.0 for sugar) of sorbitol is consistent with the objective of weight control. Products sweetened with sorbitol in place of sugar may be useful in providing a wider variety of reduced calorie and sugar free choices to people with diabetes and fattiness.
