Our Sorbitol Powder (D-Glucitol, CAS 50-70-4, E420) is a white, crystalline powder with a mild sweet taste, approximately 50–60% as sweet as sucrose . It is a sugar alcohol derived from glucose through catalytic hydrogenation and is widely used across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturing. This grade is Food Grade E420, packed in 25 kg PP bags, and available for bulk and wholesale supply to food and pharmaceutical producers.
Sorbitol is valued by manufacturers for two core functions: it is a sweetener and a humectant . As a sweetener, it provides a clean, mild sweetness with a cooling sensation, making it suitable for sugar-free and reduced-sugar formulations. As a humectant, it absorbs and retains moisture, preventing products from drying out, crystallizing, or losing texture during storage.
For food applications, sorbitol is used in sugar-free confectionery, baked goods, and beverages. It helps keep products soft and fresh, inhibits sugar crystallization in syrups and candies, and is non-cariogenic—meaning it does not contribute to tooth decay . It is also suitable for diabetic-friendly formulations because it does not raise blood glucose the way sucrose does .
For pharmaceutical applications, sorbitol serves as a tablet diluent in chewable tablets, a plasticizer for gelatin capsule shells, and a stabilizer for vitamin, and antacid suspensions. In syrups, it prevents crystallization around bottle caps—a common issue with sugar-based formulations .
This product is supplied in 25 kg PP bags with food-grade inner liner, with bulk and wholesale capacity to support both trial orders and production-scale purchasing.

Sweetener
Sorbitol provides a mild, clean sweetness about half as sweet as sugar, with a pleasant cooling effect in the mouth. It is suitable for sugar-free and diabetic-friendly products because it does not raise blood sugar like regular sugar .
Humectant
Sorbitol holds onto moisture, keeping products soft and fresh. In baked goods, it prevents drying out. In toothpaste and creams, it stops the product from hardening. In syrups, it helps maintain smooth texture .
Crystallization Inhibitor
Sorbitol prevents sugar and other solids from crystallizing in syrups, candies, and confections. This keeps products looking clean and maintains consistent texture over shelf life .
Stabilizer for Liquid Formulations
In pharmaceutical syrups and suspensions, sorbitol helps keep vitamin, and antacid particles evenly mixed, so each dose is consistent .
Staple yarn loses regain in the dry spinning room, and the resulting static makes fibres repel each other at the drafting zone, raising end breakage and producing a hairy yarn. A sorbitol addition to the conditioning bath restores moisture to the fibre, reduces static generation and improves the cohesion of the roving through drafting.
Resin and softener finishes can leave a fabric with a dry, stiff hand, particularly on cellulosic goods that have been through a high-temperature crosslinking stage. Sorbitol in the pad liquor plasticises the finish film, keeps the fabric supple at the fold and reduces the seam and crease marks that appear when the goods are rolled while still warm.
In screen and rotary printing, paste dries in the open areas of the screen and blocks the mesh, which forces stoppages and produces patchy print. Sorbitol holds water in the paste, extending open time, and it also slows the drying of the printed film so the dye can migrate evenly into the fibre before fixation.
Added to the float before or with the fatliquor, sorbitol helps carry the oil phase deeper into the hide and holds water in the fibre structure. The practical result is a fuller, softer leather with less variation between the centre and the belly, and better uniformity after staking.
Rapid drying on vacuum or toggle frames pulls water out of the fibre and can set the leather hard. Sorbitol retained in the structure slows that loss, keeps the grain from cracking at the fold and protects the article from drying out further during long storage in a dry warehouse.
Typical addition is 1-3% on dry fibre weight in finishing, or 1-2% on pelt weight in the leather float, adjusted against the existing moisture level, the softness target and the drying method used.
Each lot is released on assay by HPLC, moisture by Karl Fischer, pH of a 50% solution, residue on ignition, heavy metals, arsenic and microbiological counts. Solution clarity is checked as well, since undissolved matter in a pad bath becomes a spot on the fabric or a deposit on the leather surface.
The lot code on every bag links the delivery to its crystallisation run and packing record, and retained samples are kept so that a processing problem can be checked against the material actually used.
The granular product is packed in 25kg PP woven bags with an inner PE liner, heat-sealed against moisture pickup. Bags can be palletised and wrapped in stretch film on request, and neutral or buyer-labelled printing is available for bulk orders. Container loading is confirmed per order against the destination port and pallet configuration, with full container, LCL and mixed shipments handled and the certificate of analysis issued before dispatch.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, off the floor and away from condensing walls, out of direct sunlight and away from odorous chemicals. Avoid sustained storage above 40°C, since heat softens the granule and promotes caking in the bag. Sealed original bags stay free flowing for 24 months; once opened, close the liner tightly and use the balance within the current production cycle.
