Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol (a polyol) used as a sugar substitute
It has about 60% of the sweetness of sucrose (table sugar)
Sorbitol is a naturally occurring ingredient found in many edible fruits and berries,such as mountain ash, cherries, plums, pears, apples.
Sorbitol is very stable and chemically unreactive.
It can withstand high temperatures and does not participate in Maillard (browning) reactions.
This is an advantage for baking ,where a fresh color with no appearance of browning is desired.
Sorbitol combines well with other food ingredients such as sugars, gelling agents,proteins and vegetable fats.
The moisture-stabilizing and textural properties of sorbitol are used in the production of confectionery, baked goods and chocolate where products tend to become dry or harden.
Its moisture-stabilizing action protects these products from drying and maintains their initial freshness during storage.
Non-food use :
Sorbitol is also used for rocket propellants ( sorbitol + potassium nitrate )
Sold in a vacuum sealed bag
