APPLICATION

  1. 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. 
  2. 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. 
  3. Laxative: In higher concentrations, sorbitol has a laxative effect. It is sometimes used in medications or medical preparations to help relieve constipation. 
  4. 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. 
  5. Pharmaceuticals: It is used as an excipient in the pharmaceutical industry, providing a stable and sweet vehicle for liquid medications.
