Sorbitol Solution 70% with COA and SDS Available, E420 CAS 50-70-4, Food Grade Non-Crystallizing Sweetener, 250kg Drum

Product Overview

Sorbitol Solution 70% Food Grade is a clear, colorless, syrupy liquid polyol derived from corn, conforming to E420 specifications with CAS number 50-70-4. Unlike crystalline sorbitol powder, which requires dissolution and carries a risk of caking during storage, this liquid form is specifically designed for direct incorporation into wet production processes, offering instant miscibility and eliminating the energy-intensive dissolution step that manufacturers face when using powdered alternatives . The “non-crystallizing” designation is a critical technical distinction: standard sorbitol solutions can begin to crystallize at ambient temperatures around 25°C, causing pipeline blockages and production downtime, whereas this non-crystallizing grade remains stable and free-flowing at lower temperatures, ensuring uninterrupted handling and consistent product texture . As a sugar alcohol, sorbitol delivers approximately 60% of the sweetness of sucrose with a pronounced cooling sensation on the palate, a property arising from its negative heat of solution that makes it particularly valued in confectionery, chewing gum, and mint-flavored applications . Beyond sweetness, sorbitol functions as a highly effective humectant, binding moisture and preventing products from drying out, cracking, or hardening during storage, while also acting as a plasticizer and stabilizer in frozen and meat-based systems . It is non-cariogenic, as oral bacteria cannot ferment it to produce acids, and its metabolism does not require insulin, making it suitable for sugar-free, tooth-friendly, and diabetic-friendly formulations . The liquid format is especially advantageous for high-volume manufacturers: it can be pumped directly from drums or storage tanks into batch mixers without dust generation, reducing labor costs and eliminating the explosion and inhalation hazards associated with handling combustible powders . Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full documentation support, and the 250kg drum packaging is designed for industrial-scale production and efficient logistics.

Key Benefits

1. Corn-Derived and Non-Crystallizing
Produced from corn, this sorbitol solution offers a plant-based-origin ingredient option. Its non-crystallizing formulation ensures the product remains stable and free-flowing, preventing crystallization or “sandiness” in finished foods during storage. The liquid form allows for accurate metering and easy incorporation into production lines without the dissolution steps required for powdered polyols.

2. Mild Sweetness with Cooling Effect
Sorbitol has approximately 60% the sweetness of sucrose, with a pleasant taste and a pronounced cooling sensation on the palate due to its negative heat of solution . This makes it particularly suitable for confectionery, chewing gum, and mint-flavored applications where a refreshing mouthfeel is desired.

3. Effective Humectant and Texture Enhancer
As a humectant, sorbitol binds moisture and helps prevent food products from drying out, cracking, or hardening during storage. It is widely used in baked goods, confectionery, and meat products to maintain softness, freshness, and visual appeal. It also functions as a plasticizer and stabilizer, improving texture and freeze-thaw stability in frozen desserts and surimi products.

4. Tooth-Friendly and Suitable for Sugar-Free Formulations
Sorbitol is not fermented by oral bacteria to produce acids, making it non-cariogenic and suitable for tooth-friendly products such as sugar-free chewing gum and candies. It is also commonly used in diabetic-friendly and reduced-calorie foods because its metabolism does not require insulin .

5. Heat and Acid Stable
Sorbitol contains no aldehyde group and is resistant to oxidation. It does not participate in Maillard browning reactions with amino acids under heat, helping to preserve the original color and flavor of processed foods. This stability makes it suitable for applications involving pasteurization, baking, and other thermal processes.

Applications

Confectionery & Chewing Gum: Sugar-free candies, gums, mints; provides sweetness, cooling effect, and prevents crystallization.
• Baked Goods: Cakes, cookies, breads; retains moisture, extends softness, and delays staling.
• 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 & Icings: Controls moisture, improves texture, and inhibits sugar crystallization.
• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical: Used as a sweetener and humectant in syrups and oral liquids (food-grade applications only).

Goods-in release

Your receiving team can compare the certificate against the approved specification and release the drum without waiting for a sample to be sent to an external laboratory.

Regulatory registration

Registration dossiers and product notifications ask for composition data, CAS and E number, and a current safety data sheet in the local language.

Distributor and importer onboarding

An importer taking stock into a bonded warehouse needs the safety data sheet for storage classification and the certificate for customer release.

Customer and retailer audits

Auditors ask for the certificate behind a delivered lot and the safety data sheet behind the storage arrangement; both are on file for every shipment.

Internal safety and training

The handling sections support operator training, spill procedure and the assessment of drum storage in your own facility.

Quality Control

Certificates are issued from the release record of the lot that was filled, not from a template, and each result traces to a bench record and a method. Colour, dry substance and pH are measured on the bulk sample before filling; assay, reducing sugars, residue on ignition, heavy metals, arsenic and microbiological counts are completed before the lot is released.

Safety data sheets are reviewed when a formulation, packing or regulatory classification changes, and the revision date sits on the document so a warehouse copy can be checked against the current version. Buyers who need a specific language, an extended section or a company-specific format should raise it with the enquiry.

Packaging & Shipping

The syrup ships in 250 kg net HDPE drums, palletised and wrapped, with IBC units available for larger orders. Every shipment carries the lot certificate of analysis, the safety data sheet, a packing list stating drum count and net weight, and the booking documents. Where a certificate of origin or a declaration is required for import, it is added to the set and issued before departure.

Storage & Handling

Keep the drums within a 15°C to 30°C band, sealed, upright and out of sunlight, away from goods with a strong smell. The safety data sheet sections on storage and exposure control describe the same conditions, so the warehouse instruction and the document agree. Clean up spills with absorbent material and water rather than allowing the syrup to dry on the floor, where it becomes slippery, and keep the current safety data sheet accessible to the shift that handles the drums.
