Product Performance

Sorbitol (D-Glucitol) is a hygroscopic white crystalline powder or syrup with a refreshing sweet taste, approximately 60% as sweet as sucrose. It has a similar calorific value to sucrose but is non-cariogenic (does not cause dental caries). It is highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol and acetic acid.
