Usage:
Sorbitol is a colorless transparent viscous liquid with a slightly sweet taste.
Sorbitol can be widely used in medicine, light industry, food, chemical industry and other industries.The pharmaceutical industry is mainly used as the raw material for the production of vitamin C, and the light industry is used as the raw material for the surfactant.
Sorbitol has good moisturizing properties, and can be used as a moisturizing agent in the production of toothpaste, cigarettes, and cosmetics instead of glycerin; In the food industry, sorbitol is a sweetener with hygroscopicity to prevent food from cracking and keep it fresh and soft; It does not cause blood sugar to rise, and can be used as a sweetener and nutritional agent to produce special food for diabetics; The addition of sorbitol in concentrated milk can prolong the storage period, stabilize the fish paste and jam preserves, and improve the color, flavor and taste of sausage; In the application of chemical industry, sorbitol fatty acids replace sesame oil, and sorbitol rosin ester is the raw material of commonly used architectural coatings.
Sorbitol is white hygroscopic powder or crystalline powder, flake or particle, odorless. It is easily soluble in water (1g is dissolved in about 0.45ml water), has a cool sweet taste, is about half as sweet as sucrose, and has a calorific value similar to that of sucrose. It is a nutritional sweetener, wetting agent, chelating agent and stabilizer, which is widely used in food production.
