Sunsorb Sorbitol

D-Sorbitol or D-Glucitol, is a hexahydric polyol. Sorbitol is manufactured by the catalytic hydrogenation of starch hydrolysate. Sorbitol is sugar-free, low-caloric, non-toxic, non-irritant, stable and chemically inert, resistant to alkaline and mostly not fermentable by microorganisms. Characteristics • Low-calorie, non-cariogenic and low-glycemic index natural sweetener • Retains moisture as a humectant • Acts as a texturizing agent • Non-cariogenic • An effective stabilizer for food • Acts as a plasticiser • Provides cooling effect in mouth • Acts as a bulking agent • Improves viscosity in the end product • Has high temperature and pH stability• Shows excellent performance in bakery products • Meets the requirements of USP/EP/BPFood Applications: Confectionery: Sunsorb Sorbitol provides freshness, improves shelf life and imparts pleasant cooling taste. Toffee, soft/hard caramels, jellies, milk chocolate, fruit jams remain dry and uncrystallized with a good mouthfeel by sorbitol. Bakery Products: Prevents bakery products, especially cakes from drying out by its humectant properties. Ice Creams: Lowers freezing point by making softer and easies for scooping. Pharmaceutical Applications:Personal Care & Cosmetics: Sorbitol has many uses in consumer products due to its superior ability to retain moisture in personal care & cosmetics. Sorbitol also provides clarity and translucency to bar soaps. Toothpaste: Use of Sorbitol prevents drying, gives good consistency, plasticity and enhances cooling effect.Industrial Applications: Continuous Liquid Coolants: In Mechanical & Motor Industry, adding of Sorbitol to antifreeze enhances the efficiency of some corrosion inhibitors with respect to common metals. Papers: Sorbitol increases the flexibility of paper and reduces the tendency of paper to curl and increases the folding value of paper.Textiles: Sorbitol is usually used as enzyme stabilizator, penetrating agent, dispensing agent, humectant/bodying agent and sequestering agent.
