Sorbitol
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol found in fruits and plants with diuretic, laxative and cathartic properties. Via osmotic strain, unabsorbed sorbitol maintains water in the large intestine, thereby inducing intestinal peristalsis and exerting its diuretic, laxative and cathartic impact.
Sorbitol can be obtained by reducing glucose by changing the aldehyde group to the hydroxyl group. Most sorbitol is made from corn syrup, rice syrup but is also found in apples, pears, peaches and prunes. Sorbitol Production is a technology used to produce sugar alcohol sorbitol through batch-wise hydrogenation of aqueous glucose solution. Through this reliable process, Air Liquid Engineering & Construction enables its customers to produce sorbitol of a technical, food or pharmaceutical grade.
Features of sorbitol
- Sorbitol contains about two thirds of the calories of table sugar and provides about 60 percent of the sweetness.
- This sweetener is often added to foods that are marketed to people with diabetes.
- Unlike table sugar, sugar alcohols such as sorbitol do not contribute to the formation of cavities.
