description Product Description
D-Sorbitol is widely used in the food industry as a sugar substitute, particularly in sugar-free and low-calorie products. It provides sweetness without the same caloric content as sugar, making it suitable for diabetic-friendly foods. Additionally, it acts as a humectant, helping to retain moisture in baked goods, candies, and chewing gum, which improves texture and shelf life.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it serves as an excipient in syrups, tablets, and lozenges, providing a sweet taste and improving the stability of medications. It is also used in oral care products like toothpaste and mouthwash, where it helps maintain moisture and enhances flavor.
D-Sorbitol is utilized in cosmetics and personal care products as a moisturizing agent, preventing dryness in creams, lotions, and skincare formulations. Its ability to attract and retain water makes it effective in hydrating the skin.
In industrial applications, it is used as a plasticizer and stabilizer in the production of resins, adhesives, and synthetic materials. Its non-toxic nature and versatility make it a valuable component in various manufacturing processes.
