Sorbitol, also known as sorbitol, has the chemical formula C6H14O6. It is a non-volatile polyol with stable chemical properties and is not easily oxidized by air. It is soluble in water, hot ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, butanol, cyclohexanol, phenol, acetone, acetic acid, and dimethylformamide. It is widely distributed in natural plant fruits and is not easily fermented by various microorganisms. It has good heat resistance and does not decompose at high temperatures (200 ℃). It is often used in food as a sweetener, loosening agent, and moisturizing agent.
It is widely use in many fields like the following:
1. Daily chemical industry. Sorbitol can be used as an excipient, moisturizer, antifreeze agent in toothpaste, with an addition amount of up to 25-30%. It can maintain the lubrication of the paste, and has good color and taste; As an anti drying agent (instead of glycerol) in cosmetics, it can enhance the extensibility and lubricity of emulsifiers, making it suitable for long-term storage; Sorbitol fatty acid esters and their ethylene oxide adducts have the advantage of low skin irritation and are widely used in the cosmetics industry.
2. Food industry. Adding sorbitol to food can prevent it from drying out and keep it fresh and soft. Used in bread and cake, it has a significant effect. Sorbitol has a lower sweetness than sucrose and is not utilized by certain bacteria. It is an important raw material for producing sugar free candies and various anti caries foods. Since the metabolism of this product does not cause blood sugar to rise, it can also be used as a sweetener and nutrient for food for diabetics.
3. Pharmaceutical industry. Sorbitol can be used as a raw material for the production of vitamin C; It can also be used as a raw material for syrup, injection infusion, pharmaceutical tablet pressing, drug dispersant, filler, cryoprotectant, anti crystallization agent, Chinese medicine stabilizer, wetting agent, capsule plasticizer, sweetener, ointment base, etc.
4. Chemical industry. Sorbitol rosin ester is a commonly used raw material for architectural coatings and can be used as a plasticizer and lubricant in polyvinyl chloride resins and other polymers.

Feature of Sorbitol powder bulk:
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol substance generated from glucose through the action of sorbitol anhydrase. It has good hygroscopicity and has a wide range of applications in food, daily chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. When used in food, it can prevent food drying, aging, extend the shelf life of products, and effectively prevent the crystallization of sugar salts and other substances in food. It can maintain the balance of sweetness, sourness and bitterness and increase food flavor. Sorbitol is less sweet than sucrose, and is not used by some bacteria. It is an important good raw material for producing low sweetness candies and sugar free candies, and can be used to process various caries prevention foods.
