Application of Sorbitol
- Sweetener: Sorbitol is about 60% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar). It is used as a sugar substitute in sugar-free and "diet" products, including candies, chewing gum, and baked goods.
- Humectant: Sorbitolhas humectant properties, meaning it can help retain moisture. This makes it useful in the production of certain foods, such as cakes, cookies, and jams, to prevent them from drying out.
- Laxative: In higher concentrations, sorbitol has a laxative effect. It is sometimes used in medications or medical preparations to help relieve constipation.
- Dental Products: Sorbitol is used in some toothpaste and chewing gum because it does not contribute to tooth decay. Its sweet taste can enhance the flavor of oral care products.
- Pharmaceuticals: It is used as an excipient in the pharmaceutical industry, providing a stable and sweet vehicle for liquid medications.
About Product
Elchemy is a premier distributor, exporter, and supplier of sorbitol in India, renowned for supplying top-quality sorbitol across diverse industrial sectors.
Our high-grade sorbitol is indispensable in various applications spanning household and institutional cleaning, personal care products, and various industrial uses.
We cater extensively to industries such as oil fields, chemical manufacturing, animal feed additives, food processing, agrochemicals, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, mineral extraction, lubricants, marine applications, and the metalworking sector.
Sorbitol, classified as a sugar alcohol, possesses a mildly sweet taste and undergoes a slow metabolism within the human body. It is primarily derived from reducing glucose, converting the aldehyde group (−CHO) to a primary alcohol group (−CH2OH).
While commonly sourced from potato starch, sorbitol also occurs naturally in fruits like apples, pears, peaches, and prunes. In metabolic processes, sorbitol transforms into fructose through enzymatic action facilitated by sorbitol-6-phosphate 2-dehydrogenase.
Interestingly, sorbitol and its isomer mannitol share similarities in molecular structure but differ in hydroxyl group orientation at carbon 2, leading to distinct natural sources, melting points, and applications. This chemical versatility underscores sorbitol’s extensive utility across multiple industries, where its properties as a humectant, stabilizer, and sweetener are highly valued.
We ensure stringent quality standards in every batch of sorbitol supplied, guaranteeing consistency and reliability for our clients’ manufacturing processes. Our commitment to excellence extends to tailored solutions that meet specific industrial requirements, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted partner in the supply chain.
For businesses seeking dependable sorbitol sourcing that supports diverse operational needs, Elchemy stands ready to deliver superior quality and service, backed by expertise and dedication to customer satisfaction. Partner with us to experience the premium standard in sorbitol supply across India and beyond.
