What form and grade is Sorbitol CAS 50-70-4?

Sorbitol, also called D-Glucitol, is supplied as a white crystalline or free-flowing powder and as an aqueous solution, commonly around 70% solids. The same CAS 50-70-4 can represent different food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic or technical grades, so the physical form and grade should be confirmed.

Which specifications are commonly checked for Sorbitol?

Compare assay on the stated dry or solution basis, water, reducing sugars, related polyols, color and the applicable compendial or food standard. Powder grades usually have a melting point around 94-100 °C, while solution grades require concentration, density and often crystallizing or non-crystallizing behavior.

What is Sorbitol used for?

Sorbitol is used as a low-calorie sweetener and humectant in food, as a binder or vehicle in pharmaceutical syrups and tablets, and as a moisturizer in personal care. It is also a chemical intermediate for sorbitan esters, vitamin C production and other industrial formulations.

How should Sorbitol be stored and handled?

Store Sorbitol in tightly closed, clean containers in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect powder from moisture and caking, keep solutions free from contamination, and apply the hygiene controls required for the selected food or pharmaceutical grade.
