| Molecular Formula | C6H14O6 |
| Molecular Weight | 182.1718 |
| CAS Registry Number | 50-70-4;98201-93-5 |
| Molecular Structure | |
| Product Application | It is used as an intermediate for Vitamin C. |
Sorbitol, a sugar alcohol with the CAS numbers 50-70-4 and 98201-93-5,
Known also by names like Gulitol, Glucitol, and D-Sorbitol.
With a molecular formula of C6H14O6 and a molar mass of 182.17.
It appears as a white, needle-like crystalline powder that is odorless and has a sweet taste.
Sorbitol is highly soluble in water and hot ethanol, and it's known for its high moisture absorption and heat resistance.
Sorbitol s a versatile compound used in various industries, serves as a nutritive sweetener, humectant, chelating agent, and stabilizer.
It's particularly beneficial for people with diabetes as it doesn't convert to glucose,
and isn't insulin-dependent. Commonly used in food products like cakes and surimi.
It's also employed as a defoaming agent in various processes and for moisture retention in confectioneries.
Non-toxic and quickly metabolized in the body, sorbitol is safe for consumption, with an oral LD50 in mice ranging from 25700 to 23200mg/kg.
It's typically packaged in aluminum or plastic barrels and requires storage in cool, dry, and ventilated conditions to maintain its quality.
Sorbitol’s multifunctional properties make it an essential ingredient in food, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications.
