Sorbitol Solid

Product introduction:

Sorbitol is a non-volatile polysaccharide alcohol. It has stable chemical properties and is not easy to be oxidized by air. It is easily soluble in water, hot ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, butanol, cyclohexanol, phenol, acetone, acetic acid and dimethylformamide. It is widely distributed in plant fruits in nature. It is not easy to be fermented by various microorganisms and has good heat resistance, It does not decompose at high temperature (200 ℃). It was originally separated from Mountain Strawberry by boussingault of France. The pH value of saturated aqueous solution is 6 ~ 7. It is isomeric with mannitol, terol and galactitol. It has cool sweetness, 65% sweetness of sucrose and low calorific value. It has good hygroscopicity and plays an extremely wide role in food, daily chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. When applied to food, it can prevent food drying, aging, prolong product shelf life, effectively prevent the crystallization of sugar and salt in food, maintain the intensity balance of sweet, sour and bitter taste and increase food flavor. It can be prepared by heating and pressurized hydrogenation of glucose in the presence of nickel catalyst.
