Specifications

Basic information

sorbitol traits:D-Sorbitol is a colorless needle-like crystal, or white crystal powder, odorless, cool sweet taste, soluble in water, insoluble in organic solvents, its acid resistance, good heat resistance, and amino acids, proteins, etc. are not easy to Maillard reaction. D-sorbitol liquid is colorless, transparent thick liquid. Depending on the crystallization conditions, the melting point varies in the range of 88~102 ℃, and the relative density is about 1.49. Sorbitol is a clear, colorless syrupy liquid with a sweet taste, neutral to litmus, miscible with water, glycerin and propylene glycol.
 
sorbitol was sweet performance:D-sorbitol has a cool sweet taste, and its sweetness is about 50%-70% of sucrose. 1g D-sorbitol produces 16.7kJ of heat in the human body. After consumption, it is not converted into glucose in the blood and is not affected by insulin.
D-sorbitol has good moisturizing properties, can make food to maintain a certain moisture, prevent drying, but also to prevent sugar, salt and other precipitation crystallization, can maintain the balance of sweet, sour, bitter intensity, enhance the flavor of food, because it is not volatile polyol, so there is to maintain the function of food aroma.
 
sorbitol toxicity:The oral LD50 of mice was 23.2~25.7 g/kg body weight. ADI does not make special provisions, oral overdose can cause diarrhea and digestive disorders.
 
sorbitol preparation method:Using edible glucose as raw material, in the presence of nickel catalyst, it is obtained by hydrogenation reaction.
 
sorbitol quality indicators:According to China's food additive D sorbitol liquid standard, it should meet the following quality indicators, arsenic indicators, heavy metal indicators and nickel indicators, reducing sugar indicators and so on. In Japan, D-sorbitol is used as a food sweetener. The scope and limit of use are as follows. Cool drinks are 1% to 3, protein is about 3%, and chocolate is about 4%.
 
Sorbitol has a moisture absorption, water retention effect, in the production of chewing gum, candy to add a little can play a role in maintaining food soft, improve tissue and reduce hardening sand. The dosage is about 8%, which is used for water retention purposes in bread and cakes. The dosage is about 2%. It can be used in sweets and foods to prevent flavor change in the logistics process, and can also chelate metal ions. It can be used in canned beverages and wine to prevent food turbidity caused by metal ions.
 
Food characteristics:
 
Sorbitol can be produced by glucose reduction, widely distributed in pear, peach, apple, the content is about 1% ~ 2%. Its sweetness is comparable to glucose, but it can give people a strong feeling. It is slowly absorbed and utilized in the body, and the blood glucose level does not increase. It is also a relatively good humectant and surfactant.
Used to improve food moisture, or as a thickener. Can be used as a sweetener, such as commonly used in the manufacture of sugar-free chewing gum. It is also used as a humectant, excipient for cosmetics and toothpaste, and as a glycerin substitute.

Application areas

Main purpose:
 
① can be used for the production of vitamin C raw materials, sorbitol fermentation and chemical synthesis can be made of vitamin C. Can also be used as a raw material for industrial surfactants, using it to produce Span and Tween surfactants. Sorbitol has moisturizing properties and can be used instead of glycerin in the production of toothpaste, cigarettes and cosmetics. Using sorbitol and propylene oxide as raw materials, polyurethane rigid foam with certain flame retardant properties can be produced. In the food industry, it can be used as a sweetener, humectant, chelating agent and tissue modifier. In the pharmaceutical industry, sorbitan esters generated by nitration of sorbitol are drugs for the treatment of coronary heart disease. Food additives, cosmetic raw materials, organic synthetic raw materials, humectants, solvents, etc.
 
Nutritional sweeteners, wetting agents, chelating agents and stabilizers. It is a special sweetener with moisturizing function. It is not converted into glucose in the human body and is not controlled by insulin. It is suitable for people with diabetes. Can be used for cakes, the maximum amount of 5.0 g/kg; In surimi and its products, the maximum amount of 0.5 g/kg. It can also be used as a defoamer for sugar making process, brewing process and bean product process, and can be used appropriately according to production needs. Can also be used for raisins moisturizing, wine, cool drinks thickening, fragrance, and candy and chewing gum.
 
③ Synthetic resins and plastics, separation and analysis of low boiling point oxygen-containing compounds. Also used as gas chromatography stationary liquid, thickening agent, hardening agent, insecticide, etc.
 
④ Used as a gas chromatography stationary liquid for the separation and analysis of low boiling point oxygen-containing compounds, amine compounds, nitrogen or oxygen heterocyclic compounds. Also used in organic synthesis.
 
⑤ used as toothpaste, cosmetics, tobacco humidity agent. It is a substitute for glycerin, which has a better moisture retention and a better taste than glycerin. It can be used with other moisturizers to obtain a synergistic effect. It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a raw material for the manufacture of vitamin C.
 
The diuretic dehydrating agent. For the treatment of cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure, the treatment of glaucoma increased intraocular pressure, but also for the heart and kidney function of normal edema, oliguria.
 
⑦ Aquatic water retaining agent. The ratio of sucrose 2.1%+ sorbitol 3.15%+ compound phosphate 1.00% can effectively reduce the water activity of dried fish fillets and improve the Ca-ATPase activity.
