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.
