Sorbitol Powder — you will also see it listed as D-Sorbitol, D-Glucitol, Sorbit and Sorbol — is a polyol (sugar alcohol) supplied here as a white crystalline powder in an 80-120 mesh grade. In practical terms it is a bulk sweetener, humectant and texturizing agent: it sweetens, it holds moisture, and it gives body and texture to a finished product. That combination is why it appears in so many different industries — sugar-free confectionery and chewing gum, bakery and beverages, pharmaceutical tablets and syrups, toothpaste and mouthwash, and cosmetics and personal care.
For a formulator, the 80-120 mesh grade is the fine, free-flowing fraction. It blends evenly into dry mixes and tablet blends, disperses quickly, and dissolves very readily in water (it is only slightly soluble in alcohol), so the same grade works in both solid and liquid systems. It is a straightforward ingredient to specify: CAS No. 50-70-4, INS No. 420 / E Number E420, HS Code 29054400, molecular formula C6H14O6 and molecular weight 182.2.
If you are searching for a sorbitol powder supplier for food or pharmaceutical use, this is the material and grade described on this page.
This product is offered in a single material covered by both food and pharmaceutical applications. It conforms to USP, BP, EP and FCC standards, which means one grade can serve food, oral-care, cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations without a change of specification.
Sorbitol powder is normally fractionated by particle size, and the common mesh cuts are 20-60 mesh (coarse), 60-80 mesh (medium) and 80-120 mesh (fine). This offer is the 80-120 mesh fine grade; other cuts can be discussed if your process calls for a different flow behaviour.

Food and beverage. Sorbitol is the classic workhorse of sugar-free product development: sugar-free confectionery and chewing gum, chocolate and compound coatings, bakery and biscuits, ice cream and frozen desserts, jams and fillings, powdered drink mixes and beverages, and functional or health foods. It sweetens, holds moisture (so products stay soft and fresh for longer), adds texture, and helps cover the aftertaste that high-intensity sweeteners leave behind.
Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical. As a pharmaceutical excipient it serves as a sweetener, tablet binder/filler and moisture conditioner in tablets, syrups, chewables and sugar-free oral formulations.
Oral care and cosmetics. It is a familiar ingredient in toothpaste and mouthwash, and in moisturizers, lotions, creams and other personal-care products as a humectant and texture enhancer.
Industrial and intermediate. Sorbitol is a starting material for sorbitan fatty acid esters and other non-ionic surfactants, for polyurethane polyols, and for other chemical intermediates.
Sorbitol is about 60% as sweet as sucrose, with roughly one-third fewer calories. It has a smooth mouthfeel and a sweet, cool, clean taste rather than a sharp one — a useful property when you are reducing sugar but want to keep a rounded flavour. And because it is non-cariogenic (it does not promote tooth decay) and is metabolised without a rapid glucose spike, it is a well-established choice for sugar-free, reduced-calorie and diabetic-friendly products.
This is a representative certificate-of-analysis result for the grade, so you can see actual values rather than limits alone:

| Assay | ≥ 98.0% | 99.60% |
| Moisture Content | ≤ 1.0% | 0.42% |

Standard packing is 25 kg per bag — a kraft paper bag with a PE inner liner, with customized packing available according to your requirements. The multi-layer construction is a moisture barrier: sorbitol is hygroscopic, so the packaging is chosen to keep the powder free-flowing and prevent caking during long-distance shipping and warehouse storage.
In storage, keep the bags closed and sealed, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment, out of direct sunlight and away from strong odours and contaminants. Stored unopened under these conditions, the product has a typical shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture.
Sorbitol has been safely used in processed foods for almost half a century. It has been affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the U.S. Food Administration, and it is approved for use in the European Union and in many countries around the world, including Australia, Canada and Japan. In labelling terms it is INS 420 / E420, and it is covered by the USP, BP, EP and FCC standards.
