What is Sorbitol?
Food Additives Sorbitol is a new kind of Sweetener extracted from glucose. Sweeteners Sorbitol is colorless, odorless, clear and sticky liquid or crystalline powder with sweet taste, with excellent characters of freshness-maintain, fragrant-retain, color-keep and wetness. Sorbitol is a new kind of sweetener made from purified glucose as material via hydrogenation refining, concentrating. When it was absorbed by human body, it spreads slowly and then oxidizes to fructose, and takes part in fructose metabolization. It doesn't affect blood sugar and uric sugar. With high-moisture-tatiblizing, acid-resisitance and non-ferment nature, it can be used as sweetener and monisturizer. The sweet intensity contained in sorbitol is lower than that in sucrose, and it can`t be utilized by some bacteria. It can be widely used in many industries such as food, leather, Cosmetic, paper making, textile, plastic, toothpaste and rubber.
1. Can be used to produce Vitamin C raw materials, sorbitol fermentation and chemical synthesis can be obtained Vitamin C. It can also be used as a raw material for industrial surfactants. It can be used to produce surfactants and tweens.
2. Nutritional sweeteners, humectants, chelating agents and stabilizers. It is a special sweetener with Moisturizing function. In the human body does not convert to glucose, insulin control, suitable for diabetics.
3. Synthetic resins and plastics, separation and analysis of low boiling point oxygenated compounds.
4. Used as a GC stationary liquid for the separation and analysis of low-boiling oxygenates, amines, nitrogen or oxygen heterocycles.
5. For toothpaste, cosmetics, tobacco conditioning agent.
6. Diuretic dehydration agent. For the treatment of cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure, intraocular pressure for the treatment of glaucoma increased, also used for normal edema of heart and kidney function, oliguria.
Aquatic aquasorb The ratio of sucrose 2.1% + sorbitol 3.15% + complex phosphate 1.00% can effectively reduce the water activity of dried fish fillets and increase the activity of Ca-ATPase.
Application
1. Sorbitol is widely used in Daily chemical industry, food industry, such as toothpaste, cosmetics, candies, icecreams, biscuits, etc.
2. In daiily chemical industry, it is the perfect substitute of glycerin in cosmetics, and used in toothpaste for its good taste.
3. In food industry, it is a kind of sweetener, with low calorie, especially for diabets and some patients.
