Sorbitol is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid containing about 71% total solids, primarily composed of D-Sorbitol with small amounts of mannitol and other polyhydric alcohols.
Sorbitol is widely used across various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, personal care, cosmetics, tobacco, and adhesives. It is especially common in sugar-free food products.
Chemically, sorbitol is a carbohydrate classified as a sugar alcohol, or polyol. Sorbitol 70% serves as a humectant in many products, helping to protect against moisture loss.
This non-crystallizing liquid sorbitol is also used as a plasticizer in soft gelatin capsules, as a bulk sweetener in liquid dosage forms, and as a humectant in semi-solid formulations.
Sorbitol Solution 70% Non-Crystallizing Food Grade is from 100% Natural Maize Starch Origin and Kosher Certified.

Sorbitol is used in Cough syrups, Toothpastes and other Oral hygiene products, Cosmetics, Paints, Cigarettes, and Baked food items.
Liquid Syrups, Suspensions, and Soft Gel Capsules.
Used in toothpaste, mouthwash, creams, ointments, lotions, shaving creams, and shampoos.
Candies, Energy drinks / Diet Chocolates, Biscuits Cakes & Pastries, Chewing Gums, Enzymes, Ice Creams, Fruit Jams.
Sorbitol is commonly used as a dispersing agent, humectant/bodying agent, and sequestering agent. It serves as a color stabilizer in textile printing, a humectant in textile sizing, and a softener during the finishing process.
Sorbitol is used to contribute to the flavor of chewing tobacco and is used as a humectant and conditioner.
Vitamin C, Sorbitol Esters, Polyether Polyols for Rigid Polyurethane Foams, Alkyd Resins, Melamine & Phenolic Resins.
The characteristics of sorbitol that it neither loses nor absorbs any appreciable quantity of water increases the viscosity of the glue's composition and its non-volatility is an advantage in adhesive applications.
