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

Product Overview

Sorbitol Solution 70% Food Grade is a clear, syrupy liquid sweetener made from corn. It belongs to a group of ingredients called sugar alcohols—they taste sweet like sugar, but your body handles them very differently. If you make or sell sugar-free products, or you‘re simply someone who reads labels and wants to know what’s inside, this is the ingredient that makes “sugar-free” taste good and feel right.
Here‘s what it does in a product, in plain terms. First, it sweetens. It’s about 60% as sweet as regular sugar, with a clean taste and a slight cooling feeling on your tongue—that‘s why it works so well in mints and chewing gum . Second, it holds moisture. When you bite into a soft cookie or a piece of sugar-free candy, sorbitol is often what keeps it from drying out and turning hard or crumbly. Third, it’s kind to your teeth. Unlike regular sugar, the bacteria in your mouth can‘t turn sorbitol into the acids that cause cavities . That’s a big reason why so many sugar-free gums and mints use it.
If you‘re watching your sugar intake, sorbitol is gentler on your blood sugar than regular sugar. Your body absorbs it slowly, so it doesn’t cause the same quick spike that table sugar does . It‘s not calorie-free, though—it still has some calories, just fewer than sugar.
One thing you should know if you’re eating or drinking products with sorbitol: eating a lot of it at once can cause bloating, gas, or loose stools. That‘s true of all sugar alcohols, not just this one. Most people can enjoy foods with sorbitol without any problem, but if you have a sensitive stomach, it’s worth paying attention to how much you‘re having .
For manufacturers, the liquid form is convenient: you can pump it straight from the drum into your mix, no dust and no dissolving needed. It stays smooth and doesn’t crystallize at room temperature, so it won‘t clog your lines or turn grainy in your finished product.

Technical Specification

Typical specification. The certificate of analysis issued for each shipment is the governing document.

Typical Certificate of Analysis

Sugar content is reported separately from total solids, since the two are often confused on a specification sheet and just one of them carries the claim.

Key Benefits

1. Makes “Sugar-Free” Taste Good
Sorbitol gives products a clean, pleasant sweetness without the sugar. It‘s the reason sugar-free gum and candies don’t taste flat or bitter. If you‘re cutting back on sugar, products sweetened with sorbitol can satisfy a sweet tooth without the sugar spike.

2. Keeps Things Soft and Fresh
Sorbitol holds onto moisture, so baked goods and soft candies stay soft instead of drying out and going stale. It’s a small thing that makes a big difference in how a product feels when you open it weeks after it was made .

3. Friendly to Teeth
Dental health organizations recognize that sugar alcohols like sorbitol don‘t feed the bacteria that cause cavities. When you swap sugar for sorbitol in gum or candy, you’re giving your teeth a break.

4. Gentler on Blood Sugar
Sorbitol is absorbed slowly and doesn‘t cause the rapid blood sugar rise that regular sugar does. For people managing their sugar intake, it’s a more forgiving choice .
5. No Crystals, No Clogs
This non-crystallizing grade stays smooth and pumpable in the drum and in your production line. No surprise hardening, no clogged pipes, no grainy texture in the final product.
6. Easy for Manufacturers to Use
Pump it, mix it, done. The liquid form saves the time, mess, and dust that come with handling powdered ingredients.

Applications

Sugar-free gum, mints, and candies – sweetness, cooling effect, and tooth-friendly

Sugar-free baked goods – keeps them soft and extends shelf life

Sugar-free chocolate and icings – prevents sugar from crystallizing

Frozen desserts – improves texture and helps with freeze-thaw

Toothpaste and mouthwash – keeps products from drying out

Sugar-free chewing gum

The syrup plasticises the gum base and keeps the pellet or stick from becoming brittle, without contributing sugars to the panel.

Sugar-free hard candy

Boiled candy needs a solids base that does not crystallise in the drop; the syrup supplies it and holds the glassy state through wrapping.

Sugar-free chocolate and compounds

Used alongside a bulk polyol, the syrup limits the water activity rise that turns a compound coating grainy during conching.

Sugar-free bakery and biscuits

Water binding replaces the softness that sugar normally provides, so a no-added-sugar sponge does not stale within days.

Sugar-free syrups and cordials

Beverage bases take the syrup for body and mouthfeel, with the polyol line declared on the nutrition panel.

Quality Control

Each lot is assayed for sorbitol content and separately for total sugars, because a sugar-free claim rests on the sugar figure rather than the polyol figure. Colour, pH, reducing sugars and microbiological counts are tested on the same retained sample, and the certificate reports each result against its limit.

The declaration of polyols and the laxative statement are labelling obligations that sit with the brand owner, and we supply the compositional data those statements rest on. Customers finalising a pack design can ask for the sugar and polyol figures in the format their regulatory team works in.

Packaging & Shipping

The syrup is packed in 250 kg net HDPE drums with tamper-evident seals and shipped palletised, with IBC units available for higher volume lines. Each drum carries a batch reference that matches the certificate, and the packing list states net weight and drum count. Neutral labels or buyer artwork are applied on request, and all shipping documents are issued before dispatch.

Storage & Handling

Store between 15°C and 30°C, sealed and out of sunlight. Keep drums away from strong odours, as the syrup takes up foreign smells. Where a drum is drawn down over several days, fit a closed transfer line and keep the bung closed between draws. Do not store the product in contact with uncoated mild steel; use the HDPE drum as supplied or a lined vessel.
