Kosher Sorbitol Solution 70% Food Grade, D-Glucitol CAS 50-70-4, Humectant and Sweetener, 250kg Drum, Bulk Supply

Product Overview

Sorbitol Solution 70% Food Grade is a clear, colorless, syrupy liquid sugar alcohol derived from corn glucose through catalytic hydrogenation. Chemically identified as D-Glucitol (CAS 50-70-4, E420), it is a Kosher-certified polyol that serves dual functions as both a humectant and a low-calorie sweetener in food and beverage formulations. This 70% aqueous solution is manufactured in a non-crystallizing grade, ensuring it remains stable and pumpable at ambient temperatures without the crystal formation that can plague standard sorbitol solutions, causing pipeline blockages and inconsistent finished-product texture.

For manufacturers serving Kosher markets, this certification is a critical compliance requirement. Sorbitol produced from corn-derived glucose through hydrogenation is generally regarded as Kosher Pareve, provided the production facility and catalyst used in the hydrogenation process meet kosher auditing standards. This certification opens access to Kosher-certified food production lines, retail channels, and export markets where rabbinic supervision documentation is mandatory. The liquid format further enhances operational efficiency: it can be pumped directly from the 250kg drum into mixing vessels, eliminating dust generation, reducing labor costs, and avoiding the energy-intensive dissolution step required when using powdered polyols.

Sorbitol delivers approximately 60% of the sweetness of sucrose with a clean taste and a subtle cooling sensation. As a humectant, it binds moisture effectively, preventing products from drying out, cracking, or hardening during storage—a property highly valued in baked goods, confectionery, and meat products. It also functions as an anti-crystallization agent in confectionery and icings, a plasticizer and stabilizer in frozen and meat-based systems, and a bodying agent in beverages and fillings. Sorbitol is non-cariogenic—oral bacteria cannot ferment it to produce cavity-causing acids—making it suitable for sugar-free and tooth-friendly products. Its metabolism does not require insulin, supporting its use in diabetic-friendly formulations. It is heat-stable and does not participate in Maillard browning, helping preserve the original color and flavor of thermally processed foods.

This product is manufactured under Kosher-certified conditions, with certification documentation available for verification. Bulk supply in 250kg drums is designed for industrial-scale food manufacturers, contract producers, and distributors requiring reliable volume availability and consistent Kosher compliance.

Key Benefits

1. Kosher Certification for Compliant Production
This sorbitol solution holds Kosher certification, with documentation confirming its Pareve status. For food manufacturers producing Kosher-certified lines or exporting to markets requiring rabbinic supervision, this certification eliminates the need for additional ingredient verification and supports audit compliance. Sorbitol derived from corn glucose via hydrogenation is consistently accepted by major kosher agencies, provided facility and process audits confirm no non-kosher substances are introduced during manufacturing.

2. Non-Crystallizing Formulation for Reliable Handling
Standard sorbitol solutions can begin crystallizing at ambient temperatures, causing production interruptions and inconsistent product quality. This non-crystallizing grade remains stable and pumpable under normal storage conditions, ensuring uninterrupted flow from drum to process line and preventing “sandiness” or crystal formation in finished foods.

3. Dual Function: Humectant and Sweetener
Sorbitol serves two essential roles in a single ingredient. As a humectant, it binds moisture and extends the softness and shelf life of baked goods, confectionery, and meat products. As a sweetener, it provides approximately 60% of sucrose’s sweetness with fewer calories, supporting reduced-sugar and sugar-free formulations without compromising taste.

4. Multi-Functional Polyol for Formulation Efficiency
Beyond humectancy and sweetness, sorbitol acts as an anti-crystallization agent, stabilizer, plasticizer, and bodying agent. This multifunctionality allows formulators to simplify ingredient lists while achieving moisture retention, texture improvement, freeze-thaw stability, and shelf-life extension simultaneously.

5. Tooth-Friendly and Suitable for Sugar-Free Products
Sorbitol is not fermented by oral bacteria to produce acids, making it non-cariogenic and suitable for sugar-free chewing gums, mints, and candies that carry tooth-friendly claims. Its insulin-independent metabolism also makes it a preferred bulk sweetener in diabetic-friendly and reduced-calorie foods.

6. Heat Stable and Non-Browning
Sorbitol contains no aldehyde group and resists oxidation. It does not undergo Maillard browning with amino acids under heat, helping maintain the original color and flavor of baked goods, confectionery, and thermally processed foods.

7. Bulk Supply Efficiency
The 250kg drum format and bulk supply capability support large-scale production planning, reduce packaging waste per unit of product, and simplify warehouse logistics for manufacturers requiring consistent, high-volume ingredient availability

Applications

Sugar-Free Confectionery & Chewing Gum: Provides sweetness, cooling effect, and prevents crystallization; suitable for tooth-friendly and Kosher-certified product lines.
• Baked Goods & Icings: Retains moisture, extends softness, delays staling, and inhibits sugar crystallization in icings and fillings.
• Beverages & Frozen Desserts: Enhances body and mouthfeel; improves freeze-thaw stability in ice cream and frozen products.
• Meat & Surimi Products: Improves water-binding capacity, texture, and freeze-thaw stability.
• Jams, Fillings & Fruit Preparations: Controls moisture and inhibits crystallization.
• Oral Care & Pharmaceutical: Used as a humectant and sweetener in toothpaste, mouthwash, syrups, and oral liquids (food-grade applications).

Kosher confectionery

Candy, gum and coatings produced under supervision use the pareve syrup so the line can run dairy and non-dairy items without changing the polyol.

Dairy free and pareve desserts

Non-dairy creams, frozen desserts and fillings take the syrup for body without introducing a dairy status question.

Bakery and sweet goods

Humectancy in sponge, cake and pastry keeps the crumb soft where the product is sold through a kosher-certified bakery.

Beverages and concentrates

Syrup bases for kosher-certified soft drinks and cordials carry the status through dilution and filling.

Oral care and supplements

Toothpaste and liquid supplement bases use the grade where the brand's supervision extends to the personal care range.

Quality Control

Routine release covers dry substance, assay, colour, pH, density, reducing sugars, residue on ignition, heavy metals and plate count. The kosher file runs in parallel: raw material status, processing aid review, line preparation record and the certificate issued against the filled lot.

The lot reference on the drum is the same reference quoted on the kosher certificate, so a container can be reconciled against its paperwork at goods-in. Where a supervisor requires a specific seal or an inspected closure, that requirement is built into the packing instruction before the drums are filled.

Packaging & Shipping

The syrup is supplied in 250 kg net HDPE drums with tamper-evident closures, palletised and wrapped, and IBC units are available on request. Drum labels state the lot reference used in the kosher certificate. Packing list, quality certificate, kosher document and safety data sheet are issued before dispatch, with neutral labelling available for buyer-branded repacking.

Storage & Handling

Store between 15°C and 30°C, sealed and upright, away from sunlight and odours. Keep the drum label and seal intact until the contents are used, since both are part of the documentary chain. Do not decant into containers that have held non-kosher material, and keep part-used drums closed and labelled in a segregated area of your store.
