    Product Overview

    Free‑Flowing Crystalline Sorbitol Powder (D‑Glucitol Polyol) CAS No.: 50‑70‑4|INS No.: E420|HS Code:29054400 Molecular Formula: C₆H₁₄O₆|Molecular Weight: 182.2

    Crystalline Sorbitol Powder is high‑purity polyol manufactured by high‑pressure catalytic hydrogenation of dextrose feedstock, then crystallized, centrifuged and dried into free‑flowing solid granules. It appears as white or almost‑white crystalline powder, very soluble in water while slightly soluble in ethanol. Featuring distinct endothermic‑dissolution property, it delivers characteristic noticeable cooling sensation upon dissolving, which is its key differentiator compared with maltitol powder and other polyols with mild or negligible cooling mouthfeel.

    This crystalline sorbitol powder complies with BP, USP, EP, FCC monograph requirements for food and pharmaceutical excipient applications. Every production batch is fully tested for assay, specific rotation, loss on drying, heavy‑metal suite and strict microbial enumeration. Batch‑specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) can be issued for import customs clearance, incoming quality validation and global regulatory documentation for chewing‑tablet manufacturers, chewing‑gum factories, sugar‑free confectionery producers and pharma solid‑dosage formulators.

    Classified as GRAS under US‑FDA regulation and approved across EU, North‑America, Australia and many other regions. It is non‑cariogenic and low‑glycemic, calorific value 2.6 kcal/g. Multiple particle‑size grades support diverse dry‑mix, direct compression and granulation workflows in food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. It can also serve as solid feedstock for downstream Vitamin‑C fermentation synthesis.

    Free‑Flowing Crystalline Sorbitol Powder E420, BP USP EP FCC Polyol for Chewing Gum & Direct‑Compression Tablet Excipient

    Distinctive Functional & Processing Advantages

    Compared with sorbitol liquid grades and maltitol crystalline powder, free‑flowing sorbitol powder brings unique strengths for solid‑state manufacturing workflows:

    1. Distinct Cooling Sensation from Endothermic Dissolution When dissolved in mouth, sorbitol absorbs heat and generates obvious cooling taste, a highly desired property for chewing gum, breath mints and throat lozenges. This feature distinguishes it clearly from maltitol series with negligible cooling effect.
    2. Good Flowability & Versatile Mesh Options for Solid‑State Production Available in multiple mesh grades: coarse 10‑20 / 20‑40 mesh for confectionery melting process; medium 40‑60 mesh and fine 40‑100 mesh for dry blending, direct compression tableting and powder premix systems. Good powder flow reduces bridging issues inside tablet‑press feeding hoppers.
    3. Excellent Tableting Performance for Chewable & Effervescent Tablets Works well in both direct compression and wet‑granulation processes for chewable tablets, dietary supplement lozenges. It acts as filler‑binder and sweetener simultaneously, improving tablet hardness while masking bitter taste of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
    4. Non‑Cariogenic, Low‑Glycemic for Sugar‑Free Solid Formulations Oral bacteria cannot ferment sorbitol to produce cavity‑causing acid. Low glycemic response fits sugar‑free mints, chewing‑gum and diabetic‑oriented solid nutritional supplements.
    5. High‑Purity Solid Feedstock for Chemical Conversion Strictly controlled reducing‑sugar and impurity profile makes it suitable as solid starting material for Vitamin‑C fermentation synthesis, without extra water evaporation workload compared with sorbitol liquid raw material.
