Sorbitol Powder (also known as D-Glucitol, D-Sorbitol, Sorbit or Sorbol) is a polyol (sugar alcohol) widely used as a bulk sweetener in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. It is supplied as a white to almost-white crystalline powder with a smooth mouthfeel and a sweet, cool and pleasant taste. It is very soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol.
Sorbitol is about 60% as sweet as sucrose with one-third fewer calories, making it a practical bulk sweetener for sugar-reduced and reduced-calorie products. It is non-cariogenic (tooth-friendly) and may be useful in special-diet applications. It has been affirmed as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the U.S. Food Administration and is approved for use by the European Union and numerous other countries, including Australia, Canada and Japan.

Sorbitol Powder has been safely used in processed foods and is also used in pharmaceutical and cosmetics:
Food additive functions— humectant, texturizing agent and nutritive sweetener
Processed foods, confectionery and baked goods
Sugar-free candies and chewing gum (non-cariogenic)
Ice cream and frozen desserts
Oral care and cosmetics— humectant and moisture-retention functions
Pharmaceutical applications— as a bulk sweetener, excipient and humectant
Every batch is produced under controlled conditions and released against a fixed specification. Routine testing covers appearance, identification, solubility, assay, loss on drying, total and reducing sugars, specific rotation, pH, residue on ignition, heavy metals (lead, nickel, arsenic), chlorides, sulphates, particle size, melting range, and microbiological limits (total plate count, molds and yeasts, coliforms, E. Coli, Salmonella, dead mites).
The product conforms to USP / BP / EP and FCC V standards and is suitable for food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. It is affirmed GRAS by the U.S. FDA. A Certificate of Analysis is available for each batch on request.
