CEH: Sorbitol

Feb 2020. Sorbitol is the largest-volume sugar alcohol. It offers a unique combination of functional properties—humectancy, sweetness, bulking, stabilization, softening, and emulsification—at an attractive price. Because of its sweet taste, it is widely used as a partial replacement for sucrose (table sugar) in sugar-free foods, chewing gums, and candies. In addition, sorbitol serves as a sweetener, humectant, and bodying agent in toothpaste and mouthwash and as a starting material for vitamin C production.
