    Product Description

    D-Sorbitol, CAS 50-70-4, is D-glucitol, a hexahydric sugar alcohol; the EC/EINECS number is 200-061-5.

    Synonyms: D-Glucitol; Glucitol; Sorbol; D-Glucitol crystalline.

    CAS: 50-70-4.

    Molecular formula: C₆H₁₄O₆.

    Molecular weight: 182.17.

    EC number: 200-061-5.

    It is a white crystalline powder or granules with a sweet taste about 60% that of sucrose; it is freely soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol.

    It is produced by catalytic hydrogenation of D-glucose or from starch hydrolysates.

    It is used in food, oral care, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal-care products as a humectant, sweetener and texturizer.

    In industrial chemistry it serves as an initiator for polyether polyols and as a feedstock for sorbitan esters, surfactants and alkyd resins.

    Confirm assay, water, reducing sugars, total sugars, residue on ignition, heavy metals and particle form; for food or pharmaceutical use confirm the applicable monograph limits.

    Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry area, away from moisture and strong oxidizers; use dust controls and suitable PPE.

    Confirm the current product-specific specification.

    Confirm packaging with the requested quantity and destination requirements.

    Document requirements should be confirmed from the current specification, SDS, COA, or other product-specific files.

    Regulated-use suitability must be confirmed separately with current product-specific documentation.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      What is D-Sorbitol?

      A: D-Sorbitol, also called D-glucitol, has CAS 50-70-4 and molecular formula C₆H₁₄O₆. It is a white crystalline sugar alcohol with humectant, sweetening and polyol functionality.
    • Q:

      What is D-Sorbitol mainly used for?

      A: It is used in food, oral care, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal-care products as a humectant and sweetener. In industrial chemistry it is also used as an initiator for polyether polyols and in surfactant synthesis.
    • Q:

      What specifications should be checked before ordering?

      A: Confirm assay, water, reducing sugars, total sugars, residue on ignition, heavy metals and particle form. For food or pharmaceutical use, also confirm that the grade meets the intended monograph or specification limits.
    • Q:

      How should D-Sorbitol be stored and handled?

      A: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry area, away from moisture and strong oxidizers. Use dust controls and suitable PPE, and follow the safety information for spill, disposal and first-aid procedures.
    • Q:

      What is the difference between D-Sorbitol powder and liquid sorbitol?

      A: D-Sorbitol powder is the crystalline solid form, while liquid sorbitol is an aqueous solution commonly used for syrups and non-crystallizing formulations. The powder is preferred where low water content and dry handling are required, whereas the liquid is easier to pump and blend.
