Sorbitol Syrup 70% – High-Purity Polyol for Food, Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals
Sorbitol Syrup 70% is an aqueous solution of polyols with 70% total solids, produced through catalytic hydrogenation of starch hydrolysates. This clear, sweet-tasting syrup is widely used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries due to its unique functional properties. It is non-crystallizing, has excellent moisture-retention capabilities, and serves as a sugar substitute in a wide range of reduced-sugar or sugar-free formulations.
For more information on polyols and their applications, you can visit the International Polyol Association.
In the food industry, Sorbitol Syrup is commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener in reduced-sugar products. It is especially valuable in baking, where it acts as a plasticizer, maintaining softness and extending shelf life by slowing down the staling process. It is also used as a humectant in cookies, peanut butter, fruit preserves, and other low-moisture foods, helping to keep products moist and fresh over time.
In cosmetics and personal care, Sorbitol Syrup functions as a humectant and thickening agent. It helps retain moisture in products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, moisturizing creams, and lotions. Its gentle nature and hydrating properties make it ideal for skin and oral care applications.
Sorbitol also finds specialized applications in other industries. It is used as a cryoprotectant additive—when combined with sucrose and sodium polyphosphates—in the production of surimi, a processed fish paste. It also serves as a moisture-retaining agent in certain tobacco products such as cigarettes.
