Sorbitol (CAS 50-70-4), also known as D-Sorbitol or hexitol, is a non-volatile polyhydric alcohol widely used in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial formulations. It features excellent chemical stability, strong moisture retention, and a mild, cool sweetness at about 65% of sucrose. Sorbitol is naturally found in many fruits and exhibits high thermal stability—remaining undecomposed even at temperatures up to 200°C. With good solubility in water, alcohols, and a variety of organic solvents, Sorbitol is a versatile ingredient valued for its humectant, stabilizing, and plasticizing functions.
As a professional food additives supplier, Topfine provides high-purity Sorbitol suitable for diverse applications, ensuring reliable quality and competitive wholesale prices for global partners.
