Sorbitol Production Cost Report

Sorbitol or D-sorbitol (C6H14O6) is a sugar alcohol, a kind of carbohydrate derived by the reduction of glucose, altering its aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group. It is naturally available in foods like pears, apples, peaches, and prunes but can be produced synthetically from glucose. It functions like a sweetening agent, a metabolite, a laxative, a cathartic, a human metabolite, a food humectant, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is an enantiomer of a L-glucitol.

Sorbitol is a water-soluble compound which sinks and mixes with water. It looks like a white crystalline powder that is odourless in a solid form. It has a molar mass of 182.17 g/mol and a density of 1.489 g/cm3. Its respective boiling and melting points are 296 °C and 95 °C. It is water soluble as well as has a high solubility in glycerin and propylene glycol. It has slight solubility in ethanol, methanol, acetic acid, phenol and acetamide solutions. It is basically insoluble in most other organic solvents.

Sorbitol is mainly used in diet foods, cough syrups, mints, and sugar-free chewing gum. It works like a non-stimulant laxative through an oral suspension or enema and other sugar alcohols except erythritol. It is typically used as a humectant and thickener in modern cosmetics, mouthwash and toothpaste. It is mainly employed in the packaged foods and beverage industries, where it helps add texture, sweetness and moisture retention.

As a defoaming agent, it is used for making sugar, brewing and bean product processing. It can also be used for other applications like moisturizing currants, thickening alcohol, cool drinks, sweet candy and chewing gum. Other uses of the product boosting its market demand include its use as an excipient, moisturizing agent, and antifreeze agent in toothpaste; as raw material in vitamin C; for making medicine tablets; as feed syrup, injection fluids, and a drug dispersion agent and fillers, among others.
