Crystalline Sorbitol Powder (D‑Sorbitol / D‑Glucitol, INS E420 CAS 50‑70‑4) is a high‑purity crystalline polyol sugar alcohol produced through catalytic hydrogenation of dextrose derived from corn‑starch raw materials. Presented as free‑flowing, white, odourless crystalline solid powder, it possesses a clean sweet flavour delivering approximately 55‑60 % the sweetness level of sucrose, accompanied by the well‑known refreshing cooling sensation upon dissolution.
Our bulk crystalline sorbitol powder complies fully with BP, USP‑NF, EP and FCC‑V monograph requirements, offered in multiple customizable particle‑size fractions to satisfy diverse manufacturing workflows for food processing, confectionery production, pharmaceutical solid‑dose manufacturing, oral‑care formulations and cosmetic personal‑care manufacturing. This multi‑functional polyol can perform as sweetener, bulking agent, humectant, texturizer, plasticizer, filler and binder across multiple end‑product categories.
As a non‑cariogenic low‑calorie sugar substitute, crystalline sorbitol will not contribute to dental caries. Its caloric value stands at roughly 2.6 kcal/g, significantly lower than sucrose, making it widely adopted for sugar‑free, reduced‑sugar and diabetic‑oriented finished goods. The material shows good thermal stability and resistance to Maillard browning reaction under conventional high‑temperature processing conditions. It is very soluble in water while exhibiting only slight solubility in ethyl alcohol.
We supply large‑volume wholesale crystalline sorbitol powder for global B2B buyers covering North America, European Union, Middle East, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Oceania. Every production batch is accompanied by official Certificate of Analysis (COA); Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and Technical Data Sheet (TDS) can be furnished upon customer request. Lab‑scale product samples are available for formulation evaluation and quality verification prior to placing bulk container orders.
Crystalline D‑Sorbitol belongs to the polyol family of sugar alcohols. It is manufactured by hydrogenating glucose from plant‑based starch sources, then undergoing crystallization, centrifugation and drying procedures to obtain granular crystalline powder form. Unlike liquid sorbitol which contains roughly 30 % water content, crystalline sorbitol powder maintains low‑moisture characteristics, making it ideal for all‑solid premix and direct‑compression tablet processes where extra water input cannot be accepted.
Due to its multi‑functional properties, crystalline sorbitol serves dual‑purpose: it brings sweetness to formulations, meanwhile delivering humectant, anti‑drying and texture‑modifying performance. It is affirmed as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by FDA and approved as legal food additive E420 under EU food‑additive regulations.

Crystalline sorbitol powder is one of the most mainstream raw materials for sugar‑free chewing‑gum production. Its cooling taste complements mint flavour; suitable for mint hard candy, breath‑freshening lozenges, soft candy and sugar‑free chocolate manufacturing. Good anti‑stick property stabilizes product texture during high‑speed confectionery‑making equipment operation. It replaces sucrose to produce low‑caries confectionery for health‑conscious consumers.
Acts as multi‑functional excipient: direct‑compression filler, binder, taste‑masking sweetener for chewable tablets, vitamin lozenges, dietary‑supplement solid preparations and herbal‑medicine tablets. Favourable flowability reduces tablet‑weight deviation during tableting processes. It can also be adopted as raw intermediate for certain pharmaceutical synthesis routes.
Applied widely in toothpaste formulation as humectant and non‑cariogenic sweetener. It prevents toothpaste paste body from drying‑out, cracking and hardening during shelf‑storage; optimizes spreadability and improves oral taste without contributing to caries risk.
Functions as humectant, texturizer and bulking agent in cookies, nutritional bars, fillings and preserved fruits. It delays staling and maintains soft texture. Also used in solid‑drink powder, meal‑replacement powder and diabetic‑targeted low‑GI food formulations as sugar substitute.
Used as humectant and emollient in skin cream, lotion, shaving‑foam and gel‑type personal‑care goods. It improves skin‑formula moisture‑retention performance and enhances product spread‑ability upon application.
Serves as starting raw material for producing sorbitan esters, vitamin‑C synthesis and other fine‑chemical intermediate products for downstream industrial processing.
Standard Export Packaging 25 kg net weight per unit: kraft paper outer bag with food‑grade PE inner liner for moisture‑proof protection. Custom packaging specifications can be discussed subject to large‑volume order quantities.
Storage Conditions Keep in cool, dry, well‑ventilated warehouse environment. Packaging bags must remain tightly sealed at all times. Keep away from direct sunlight, high‑temperature zones and humid ambient air to prevent powder caking caused by moisture absorption. Do not stack together with strongly‑odour chemicals.
