Sorbitols are isomers of mannitol, which are sugar alcohols and sweet in taste. Also known as glucitol, it is slowly metabolized by human body. Sorbitols are made from corn, apples, pears, peaches, and prunes. Properties such as humectant, sweetener, bulking agent, stabilizer, softener & emulsifier and surface active make sorbitol commercially viable for applications. Owing to low caloric values and natural sweetening properties, sorbitols are preferred as alternate for sugar in food and beverage products.
Global sorbitol market can be segmented in the basis of its product types such as liquid/syrup sorbitol and crystal/powder sorbitol. Liquid sorbitol products acquire the major market of this industry. it is manufactured in various processes like purification of dextrose, hydrogenation, and purification. Crystal sorbitol is manufactured after spray drying. It is used as laxative due to its sweetness and cooling effects. Hence, toothpaste is the major application of global sorbitol market followed by vitamin C and surfactants. Industries such as cosmetics & personal care, chemical, food & confectionaries, pharmaceuticals and others are the areas where sorbitol has applications.
