Short description
Sorbitol Powder (D-Glucitol, E420) is a white crystalline sugar alcohol that has been used safely in processed foods for almost half a century. Non-cariogenic, diabetic-friendly and about 60% as sweet as sucrose with one-third fewer calories, it is a dependable bulk sweetener and humectant for food, oral care, pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing.
Full description
Few sweeteners can claim the track record of sorbitol. As a polyol (sugar alcohol) used in foods for close to fifty years, Sorbitol Powder has been affirmed as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the U.S. Food Administration and is approved across the European Union and in numerous countries worldwide, including Australia, Canada and Japan. That long, well-documented safety history is why formulators reach for sorbitol first when they need a sugar-free sweetener they can trust.
In the mouth and in the formulation, sorbitol behaves exactly as buyers need it to. It is non-cariogenic — it does not promote tooth decay — and is well suited to products for people who manage their sugar intake, including diabetic-friendly ranges. Its sweetness is about 60% that of sucrose, delivered with roughly one-third fewer calories and a smooth mouthfeel that carries a sweet, cool and pleasant taste without masking other flavours. It dissolves very readily in water, keeping processing simple.
Sorbitol Powder is supplied in Food Grade, Cosmetic & Personal Care Grade and Pharmaceutical Grade, each manufactured and tested to the internationally recognised USP, BP, EP and FCC standards. Assay is guaranteed at ≥ 98.0%, with heavy metals, arsenic, lead and nickel controlled to food- and pharmaceutical-grade limits. Our range covers multiple mesh grades, from fine to coarse, so you can match particle size to your blending, tableting or dusting process — and every batch ships with its own Certificate of Analysis so purity and safety can be audited end to end.
If you manufacture confectionery, bakery, beverages, nutraceuticals, oral care or pharmaceutical, our sorbitol powder combines proven safety, consistent quality and flexible specifications. Small trial orders and full-container volumes are both welcome.

Sorbitol Powder is manufactured under controlled conditions and released only after a full physical, chemical and microbiological test panel against the USP / BP / EP / FCC specification. Each batch is checked for assay, moisture, total and reducing sugars, specific rotation, pH, residue on ignition and melting range; for heavy metals (as Pb), lead, nickel, arsenic, chlorides and sulphates; and for microbiological safety (total plate count, molds and yeasts, E. coli, Salmonella and, where required, coliforms). Particle size is verified against the agreed mesh grade.
Every shipment carries a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis, allowing buyers to verify purity, safety and mesh against the agreed specification. Assay is guaranteed at ≥ 98.0%, with heavy metals, arsenic, lead and nickel tightly controlled.
