Sorbitol is a slowly metabolized material, similar in structure to monosaccharides, which can be obtained by reducing the aldehyde group on glucose to the hydroxyl group. It is not easily fermented by various microorganisms, has good heat resistance, and does not decompose at high temperatures (200°C). The sorbitol molecule contains six hydroxyl groups that can effectively bind some free water. Its addition has a certain effect on increasing the moisture content of the product and reducing the water activity.
Sorbitol is mainly used as a raw material for surfactants in the light industry. Sorbitol has good moisturizing properties and can be used as a moisturizer in the production of toothpaste and cosmetics instead of glycerol.
In the food industry, sorbitol is a A kind of sweetener that is hygroscopic, prevents food from drying out, and keeps it fresh and soft; it does not cause blood sugar to rise, and can be used as a sweetener and nutritional agent to produce special foods for diabetics; adding sorbitol to concentrated milk can extend the shelf life. It has obvious stabilizing and long-term preservation effects on fish sauces and jam preserves, and can improve the color and aroma of sausages.
In the chemical industry, sorbitol fatty acids replace flax oil, and sorbitol rosin ester is a raw material for commonly used building coatings.
