Product Overview
Sorbitol Solution 70% is a clear, colorless, non‑crystallizing polyol syrup complying with BP, USP, EP and FCC V standards, widely used as a humectant, bulk sweetener, stabilizer and plasticizer across food, pharmaceutical, personal‑care and industrial sectors. As a sugar alcohol (polyol) with roughly 60% sweetness of sucrose, it provides non‑cariogenic sweet taste while maintaining excellent formulation stability. It also acts as an essential intermediate raw material for producing Span emulsifiers, Tween emulsifiers and polyurethane materials.
Key Functional Benefits
Powerful Moisture‑Binding & Anti‑Drying Properties
70% sorbitol solution possesses notable hygroscopic characteristics that help preserve the quality of baked goods, soft candies and dried coconut products. By trapping water molecules within the matrix, it minimizes moisture evaporation and prevents finished items from becoming dry or brittle, sustaining soft texture and extending shelf‑life.
Zero‑Sugar Profile with Anti‑Cavity Traits
Classified as a polyol sweetener, sorbitol undergoes limited and slow absorption within the human small intestine, creating a milder blood‑sugar response compared to sucrose. It cannot be metabolized by oral bacteria to form dental plaque, hence it is well‑suited for sugar‑free chewing gum, breath mints, toothpaste and mouthwash formulations.
Lower Energy Supply For Special‑Diet Formulations
Providing 2.6 kcal per gram versus 4.0 kcal/g for sucrose, sorbitol serves as a valuable ingredient for low‑calorie and glycaemia‑friendly end‑products. It delivers satisfying sweetness and desirable texture without sacrificing eating experience.
High Formulation Compatibility & Processing Stability
Our 70% non‑crystallizable sorbitol solution resists crystal formation under normal production and storage conditions. It mixes harmoniously with alternative polyols, high‑intensity sweeteners and various flavoring components for diversified formula development.
Desirable Cooling Sensation & Pleasant Texture Performance
When dissolved in water‑based systems, sorbitol generates a gentle cooling sensory effect. This feature adds consumer‑preferred taste experience to chewing gum, compressed mints and different oral‑care finished products.
Notable Stabilizing & Plasticizing Capability
Beyond sweetening effects, it functions as an effective stabilizer and plasticizer. It reduces brittleness of confectionery and soft capsules, restrains starch retrogradation and stabilizes cosmetic emulsions to keep consistent quality through the whole storage cycle.
Multi‑Purpose Building‑Block For Downstream Chemical Manufacturing
Apart from food and personal‑care sectors, this liquid sorbitol acts as a fundamental chemical intermediate. It is widely utilized to produce Span, Tween emulsifiers and polyurethane raw materials. Stable physical indices guarantee consistent output for continuous mass production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q:What differentiates crystalline‑grade sorbitol solution from ordinary food‑grade sorbitol solution?
A:Crystalline‑grade sorbitol solution meets BP/USP/EP pharmacopoeia standards and boasts superior purity indicators: reducing sugars ≤0.03%, total sugars ≤0.20%. It also follows strict limits for D‑Mannitol (≤1.5%) and resistivity (≤20 µs/cm), making it ideal for pharmaceutical syrups, toothpaste and high‑end oral‑care products. For general‑purpose food‑grade variant, reducing sugars are ≤0.15% and total sugars ≤6.0%. It delivers identical moisturizing and sweetening properties with better cost performance for conventional food manufacturing and industrial uses.
Q:Is sorbitol 70% solution usable within sugar‑free chocolate formulations?
A:Yes, it works well in sugar‑free chocolate. It provides sufficient bulk, pleasant texture and sweetness. Formulators commonly blend it together with maltitol or polydextrose to achieve improved melt‑down performance.
Q:What is the valid storage period for Sorbitol 70% Solution?
A:The shelf‑life reaches 24 months counting from manufacturing date, provided it is kept in sealed original packaging under cool, dry and well‑ventilated conditions. Avoid heat exposure and direct solar radiation.
Q:Could you offer free product samples?
A:Sure, 500g‑1kg complimentary samples are offered for lab assessment. Shipping cost shall be borne by buyers. We will refund this freight charge upon your first official bulk purchase.
Q:Is this sorbitol product non‑GMO and free of common allergens?
A:Yes. Our sorbitol is produced from non‑GMO corn starch. It excludes typical allergens including gluten, soy, dairy ingredients and nuts.
