Factory Bulk Sorbitol Powder 99% Purity Food Grade & Cosmetic Grade D‑Sorbitol E420 CAS 50‑70‑4 Sweetener Humectant for Food Cosmetics 25kg Bag

Product Overview

Sorbitol Powder (CAS No. 50-70-4, INS No. 420 / E420, HS Code 29054400) is a white, crystalline powder of D-Glucitol (D-Sorbitol) — also known as Sorbit or Sorbol — with the molecular formula C₆H₁₄O₆ and a molecular weight of 182.17 g/mol. It is manufactured in a single grade that simultaneously conforms to the major international pharmacopeia and food-standards specifications: USP, BP, EP and FCC.

As a polyol (sugar alcohol) bulk sweetener, Sorbitol Powder is approximately 60 percent as sweet as sucrose while providing about one-third fewer calories. It delivers a smooth mouthfeel with a sweet, cool and pleasant taste, and is non-cariogenic — it does not promote tooth decay — which makes it a preferred sugar substitute in sugar-free foods, confectionery and oral-care products, and a suitable sweetener for consumers managing sugar intake.

Sorbitol has been affirmed as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the U.S. FDA and is approved for use in the European Union, Australia, Canada, Japan and numerous other countries worldwide. With a high assay of 99.60%, ultra-low moisture and a clean microbiological profile, this powder is a versatile, high-purity ingredient for food, beverage, oral care, cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations.

Physical & Chemical Properties

Key Features & Selling Points

• Multi-standard compliance in one grade. Manufactured to USP / BP / EP / FCC specifications in a single product — four internationally recognized standards at once, simplifying qualification for food, pharma and cosmetic customers in regulated markets.
• High assay, high purity. COA results confirm an assay of 99.60% (spec ≥ 98.0%), with a clean sugar profile: total sugar only 0.20% and reducing sugar as low as 0.05% — ideal for demanding formulations.
• Ultra-low moisture for stability and flow. Moisture content of just 0.42% (spec ≤ 1.0%) keeps the powder free-flowing, low-hygroscopic and stable during storage, handling and long-distance shipment.
• Controlled particle size. Available in 20–60 mesh, 40–60 mesh and 60–80 mesh options so you can match the product to your process — from direct-compression tableting to fine blending and coating applications.
• Clean microbiology. Total plate count < 10 cfu/g (spec ≤ 1,000 cfu/g), mold and yeast < 10 cfu/g (spec ≤ 100 cfu/g), negative for E. coli and negative for Salmonella in 25 g — a hygienic profile suited to food and pharma production lines.
• Tight heavy-metal control. Heavy metals (as Pb) ≤ 5 ppm, lead ≤ 0.5 ppm, arsenic ≤ 1 ppm and nickel ≤ 1 ppm, verified per batch.
• Dual function in a single ingredient. Works as a bulk sweetener (about 60% of sucrose sweetness with one-third fewer calories) and as a humectant / texturizing agent that retains moisture and controls texture in finished products.
• Safe and simple logistics. Not a DOT-controlled material (U.S.), not controlled under WHMIS (Canada), non-corrosive and stable — safe for sea and air freight with standard containerized loading.
• Flexible industrial packaging. Standard 25 kg kraft bags with PE inner lining, with customized packaging available on request.

Applications

• Food & Confectionery. In sugar-free chewing gum, hard and soft candy, chocolate, bakery products and beverages, Sorbitol Powder acts as the bulk sweetener that delivers a smooth, cool sweetness while controlling sugar crystallization and retaining moisture for a better shelf life. Its free-flowing crystalline form blends easily into dry mixes and direct-compression processes.
• Oral Care. Sorbitol is a recognized humectant and texturizing agent in toothpaste, mouthwash and other oral-care products, helping maintain paste consistency and preventing premature drying — a core ingredient in this category worldwide.
• Pharmaceutical. As an excipient conforming to USP / BP / EP specifications, it is widely used as a sweetening, bulking and bodying agent in chewable tablets, oral granules, syrups, lozenges and vitamin formulations, including directly compressible applications where particle size matters.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care. Its moisture-retention and skin-conditioning properties make it a valued humectant in creams, lotions, body washes and other personal-care formulations.
• Industrial & Technical. Beyond food and personal care, crystalline sorbitol serves as a humectant, plasticizer and crystallization inhibitor in various technical and industrial applications.
