D-Sorbitol (Sorbite Powder)

Product Description

D-Sorbitol (Sorbite Powder) is a white, crystalline powder form of sorbitol, a sugar alcohol derived from glucose. It is widely used as a low-calorie sweetener, humectant, and stabilizer in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. With its pleasant sweetness (about 60% of sucrose) and moisture-retaining properties, D-Sorbitol Powder is ideal for sugar-free formulations, chewable tablets, and cosmetic creams.

In laboratories, it is utilized in biochemical studies, fermentation media, and as a cryoprotectant. Its non-cariogenic nature and excellent chemical stability make it a preferred ingredient in both nutraceutical and industrial formulations.
