Sorbitol powder, particularly the 50M grade, is a versatile ingredient primarily used as a sweetener, humectant, and texturizing agent in various industries. In pharmaceuticals, it acts as a laxative and a pharmaceutical aid, while in cosmetics, it serves as a humectant and thickener. It is also used in food production for its sweetness and moisture-retaining properties. Food Industry Applications:
Sweetener:
Sorbitol is a sugar substitute with about half the sweetness of sucrose, making it suitable for sugar-free and reduced-sugar food products.
Humectant:
It helps retain moisture in food, contributing to freshness and longer shelf life.
Texturizing Agent:
Sorbitol can prevent sugar crystallization and provide a smooth texture, especially in candies and syrups.
Other Uses:
It can be found in baked goods, low-moisture foods like peanut butter and fruit preserves, and even some gummy candies
