Sorbitol Powder, also known as D-Glucitol or E420, is a white crystalline powder made from high-quality corn starch. Our food grade sorbitol powder features 99% minimum purity and heat stable property. It has about 60% sweetness compared to sucrose, with low calorific value and non-cariogenic characteristic. It will not cause tooth decay, which makes it an ideal sugar substitute for various low-sugar and sugar-free product formulas. It can act as humectant, sweetener, stabilizer, anti-caking agent and plasticizer in food, oral care and cosmetic industries.
Our 99% sorbitol powder is manufactured under strict quality control standards. Each batch will complete laboratory testing before shipment. We can provide COA and MSDS documents for your quality inspection and import customs clearance. Halal and Kosher certificates are available upon request to support your market access in different regions. Key indicators are well controlled: sorbitol content ≥99.0%, moisture ≤0.5%, melting point 88℃~102℃, reducing sugar ≤0.2%. Heavy metal and arsenic contents are strictly limited to meet food additive requirements. It has good solubility in water and compatible with most water-soluble raw materials.
In food manufacturing, sorbitol powder E420 is widely used in sugar-free chewing gum, hard candies, soft sweets, bakery products, chocolate and dietary food. It retains moisture, prevents products from drying and hardening, extends shelf life and maintains stable texture. It can reduce water activity to inhibit microorganism growth, and keep stable performance under high temperature processing thanks to its heat stable feature.
For oral care industry, sorbitol powder is a common raw material for toothpaste and mouthwash. It works as humectant and sweetener, preventing paste drying and delivering mild sweet taste without dental caries risk. It helps optimize toothpaste texture and improves using experience for end consumers.
In cosmetic and personal care field, sorbitol powder serves as moisturizer and stabilizer for creams, lotions and facial masks. It improves product spreadability and stabilizes emulsion systems. It can also be used as raw material for producing sorbitan ester chemical intermediates.
We pack sorbitol powder in 25kg PP woven bag with inner PE liner. The package is moisture-proof and dust-proof for ocean transportation. Custom packaging can be discussed for large bulk orders. The shelf life is 24 months under proper storage. Please keep bags sealed in cool, dry and ventilated warehouse, avoid direct sunlight and high humidity environment.
We are a reliable bulk supplier with stable stock for full container orders. Normal production lead time is 7-10 days after receiving deposit. We accept flexible payment terms including T/T and L/C at sight. Free small samples are available for your lab quality evaluation; buyers only need to cover the freight cost of samples. Our export team has rich experience in chemical raw material export and document arrangement. We can offer professional support for your whole import process. Global distributors, formula manufacturers and factory buyers are welcome to contact us for quotation and technical discussion.

A certificate of analysis is issued for every batch, and a safety data sheet is available on request.
Hard candy and deposited sugar-free sweets. The syrup is cooked at 150-165°C under vacuum, and sorbitol comes through the cook without colour pickup, so the finished sweet stays water-clear rather than taking the amber tone a reducing syrup develops.
Baked goods and biscuits. In an oven at 180-220°C, sorbitol holds moisture in the crumb without adding surface colour, leaving browning to the sugars and proteins that the formula intends to use for it.
Compound coatings and glazes. A coating that is held warm for a shift is exposed to heat for hours. Sorbitol in the coating resists that hold without developing off-notes, and it keeps the gloss from dulling as the coating cools.
Retort and hot-fill products. Sauces and fruit preparations filled hot, or processed in a retort, see temperatures that break down less stable ingredients. Sorbitol maintains its water-binding through the process and does not add colour to the finished product.
Extruded snacks and cereal pieces. The extruder barrel combines heat, pressure and shear. Sorbitol survives the barrel, carries flavour through the die and holds moisture in the finished piece so it stays crisp on the outside rather than going soft in the bag.
Thermal behaviour is released as a measured property, not assumed from the chemistry. A retained sample of each batch is held at 160°C for 30 minutes, then checked for colour and re-assayed by HPLC to confirm that the polyol content has not fallen. Melting range is confirmed by the capillary method, and moisture is checked by Karl Fischer because residual water shifts both the melting behaviour and the colour response on heating.
Where a buyer's process runs hotter than the standard hold test, the technical team will run the same test at the customer's temperature and hold time on a retained sample, so the release data matches the actual process rather than a generic condition.
The powder ships in 25kg PP woven bags with an inner PE liner, heat-sealed, with palletised and stretch-wrapped loading available. Because the product is sensitive to moisture pickup rather than to ambient temperature in transit, the liner seal and the pallet cap sheet matter more than the container position. Neutral or buyer-labelled packing is available for bulk orders, and full container, LCL and mixed shipments are handled, with booking documents and the certificate of analysis issued before dispatch.
Store in a dry, ventilated warehouse below 35°C and below 65% relative humidity, away from strong odours and off the floor. Proximity to a boiler room or a south-facing wall should be avoided, not because the powder degrades at warehouse temperature but because the temperature swing drives condensation inside the liner. Reseal part-used bags and use stock in rotation. Unopened bags stay free flowing for 24 months provided the liner is not breached.
Heat performance released per batch. A 160°C hold test with colour check and assay retention is run on every batch, so thermal behaviour is a specification line rather than a claim.
Tests run at your process temperature. If your cook or your oven runs hotter than the standard hold, the same test can be repeated at your conditions on a retained sample.
No reducing group, no browning. The polyol cannot enter a Maillard reaction, which keeps colour and flavour under the control of the ingredients meant to drive them.
Melting range confirmed. Capillary melting range and Karl Fischer moisture are reported together, since residual water moves both.
Wide working window. Structure holds well above confectionery cooking temperatures, with decomposition beginning above about 200°C.
Packing built against moisture pickup. Heat-sealed PE liner and pallet cap sheets, with neutral or buyer-labelled bags for volume orders.
