China 98% 70% Min Food Addictive Sorbitol Liquid Sweetener CAS 50 -70-4

PRODUCT DEscriptION:
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol, which the human body metabolizes slowly. It can be obtained by the reduction of glucose, changing the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group. Most sorbitol is made from corn syrup, but it is also found in apples, pears, peaches, and prunes. It is synthesized by sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and converted to fructose by succinate dehydrogenase and sorbitol dehydrogenase. Succinate dehydrogenase is an enzyme complex that participates in the citric acid cycle.

( 2)Other medical applications: Sorbitol is used in bacterial culture media to distinguish the pathogenic O157: H7 from most other strains of , because it is usually unable to ferment sorbitol, unlike 93% of known strains.
3.Health care, food, and cosmetic uses:

Sorbitol often is used in modern cosmetics as a humectant and thickener. It is also used in mouthwash and toothpaste. Some transparent gels can be made only with sorbitol, because of its high refractive index.

Sorbitol is used as a cryoprotectant additive (mixed with sucrose and sodium polyphosphates) in the manufacture of surimi, a processed fish paste. It is also used as a humectant in some cigarettes.

Beyond its use as a sugar substitute in reduced-sugar foods, Sorbitol is also used as a humectant in cookies and low-moisture foods like peanut butter and fruit preserves. In baking, it is also valuable because it acts as a plasticizer, and slows down the staling process.
4. Miscellaneous uses:
A mixture of sorbitol and potassium nitrate has found some success as an amateur solid
