CAS 50-70-4

Sorbitol

Description:

Sorbitol, with the CAS number 50-70-4, is a sugar alcohol that is commonly used as a sweetener and humectant in various food and pharmaceutical products. It is a colorless, odorless, and hygroscopic crystalline solid that is soluble in water. Sorbitol has a sweet taste, approximately 60% as sweet as sucrose, and is often utilized in sugar-free products due to its lower caloric content. It is metabolized slowly in the body, making it suitable for diabetic-friendly formulations. Sorbitol also exhibits properties that help retain moisture, making it valuable in cosmetics and personal care products. Additionally, it can serve as a bulking agent and stabilizer in food applications. Chemically, sorbitol is a six-carbon polyol, specifically a hexitol, and its structure includes multiple hydroxyl groups, which contribute to its solubility and functional properties. While generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies, excessive consumption may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals.

D-Sorbitol

CAS: 50-70-4

Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, occurs widely in plants, such as, the fruits of the Sorbus and Crataegus spp.  Commercially it is produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of glucose (Collins, 2006).  Sorbitol is approved as a sugar substitute with the E number 420 and has ‘generally recognized as safe’ status (GRAS) from the US Food and Drug Administration. It is about 60% as sweet as sucrose and is a mild laxative.  Sorbitol has a wide range of other functional properties, including: humectancy, plasticizing ability, non-cariogenicity, and good chemical stability in harsh conditions, such as, alkaline pH and heat. Toothpaste production is the second largest application of sorbitol, accounting for 50,000 tons a year in Western Europe alone.  Other important uses of sorbitol as a humectant, include: formulation of cough syrups, multivitamin preparations, emulsions, and suspensions (O’Neil, 2013).
