    Sorbitol CAS 50-70-4

    Sorbitol (CAS 50-70-4), also chemically known as D-Glucitol, is a hexahydric sugar alcohol produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of glucose, available commercially as either a viscous 70% non-crystallizing liquid or a white crystalline powder. This D-Sorbitol compound functions as a bulk sweetener and moisture-stabilizing humectant in E420 labeled food and oral care products, providing a cool taste sensation in sugar-free chewing gums and preventing toothpaste from drying out by retaining water. To support industrial-scale requirements, we provide bulk supply with competitive factory pricing and ensure rigorous quality control through customized specifications alongside standard technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA.

    Physical

    White hygroscopic powder or crystalline powder, flakes or granules, odorless; It is sold on the market in liquid or solid form. The boiling point is 494.9°C; depending on the crystallization conditions, the melting point varies in the range of 88~102°C; The relative density is about 1.49, soluble in water (1g is soluble in about 0.45mL water), hot ethanol,methanol、isopropanol、butanol, cyclohexanol,phenol、acetone、acetic acid and Dimethylformamide, slightly soluble in ethanol and acetic acid.

    Chemical properties

    Chemical properties are stable and not easy to be oxidized by air。 It is not easy to be fermented by various microorganisms, has good heat resistance, and does not decompose at high temperature (200°C). There are six of them in the sorbitol molecule hydroxyl It can effectively combine some free water, and its addition has a certain effect on improving the moisture of the product and reducing the water activity 

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      What is the difference between Sorbitol 70% Solution and Sorbitol Powder?

      A: The 70% Solution is a viscous liquid primarily used as a humectant in cosmetics, toothpaste, and soft gels to prevent moisture loss, whereas the Powder form (C6H14O6) is used as a direct compression excipient in tablets and mints due to its excellent flowability.
    • Q:

      Is Sorbitol (CAS 50-70-4) safe for diabetic formulations?

      A: Yes, it is a non-cariogenic sweetener with a lower glycemic index than sucrose, as it is metabolized slowly and independently of insulin, making it a standard ingredient in diabetic-friendly confectioneries.
