Technical Information:
Sorbitol, coded E420, is a natural carbohydrate found in many fruits, both berries and fruit, such as apples, prunes, cherries, and grapes.
Its sweetening power is half that of sucrose, and its calories are equivalent to those of table sugar.
Although it is known that after absorption, it is converted to fructose and burned in the same way, the exact rate at which the body burns this sugar is unknown.
Sorbitol, which remains stable during storage, has excellent fluidity and compressibility during processing.
It is used in the confectionery industry due to its viscous and moisturizing properties and its ability to increase the absorption of vitamins B12, B1, and C.
Sorbitol, which is very easily soluble in water, is only slightly soluble in alcohol, methanol, and acetic acid. Sorbitol, the most commonly used sugar alcohol, has a sweetness between 1 3 and 1 2 that of sucrose, depending on concentration and temperature, and is generally found as a 70 crystalline solution.
Sorbitol is naturally found in fruits, especially berries, and is also prepared by high-pressure, catalyst-assisted hydrogenation of glucose derived from corn starch.
Production Methods:
Production is carried out in three categories: catalytic hydrogenation, electrocatalytic hydrogenation, and enzymatic.
From an economic perspective, catalytic hydrogenation is currently the most accepted. Sorbitol is obtained by saturating dextrose with hydrogen under high pressure (40-100 bar) and high temperature (100-170 C) in the presence of a Raney nickel or Ruthenium catalyst. It has a calorie content of 2.6kcal g.
Sorbitol, which finds applications in the food industry as a sweetener and humectant, serves as an excipient in the pharmaceutical industry and is also added to the formulations of toothpaste, chewing gum, cough drops, cosmetics, and tobacco products.
Sorbitol solution, which is also used in the production of polyethers, provides a refreshing sensation in the mouth due to its endothermic dissolution enthalpy. Excessive consumption can have a laxative effect.
Sorbitol, which is unaffected by insulin and does not increase blood sugar levels, is widely used in the formulation of products for diabetics.
While it does not cause plaque formation on teeth, it is a good additive for chewing gum, acting as a humectant and sweetener in these products. Also used as a flavoring agent, sorbitol does not decompose and is used in the pharmaceutical industry as a raw material for vitamin C production and as a substitute for glycerin.
