Sorbitol

Description

Sorbitol is a type of sugar alcohol used as a sweetener and humectant in various food products, pharmaceuticals, and personal care items. Chemically, it is derived from glucose and has a similar sweet taste, though it is less caloric and has a lower glycemic index than sugar. Because sorbitol is absorbed more slowly by the body than sugar, it can help manage blood sugar levels, making it suitable for people with diabetes.

Our sorbitol is an excellent choice for products requiring a sweet taste with less caloric content than traditional sugar. It serves as a humectant, retaining moisture to maintain product freshness and extend shelf life. Produced under strict quality control processes, our sorbitol ensures purity and consistency, meeting the rigorous standards of the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries.
