SUNWAY supplies food grade sorbitol powder as a bulk sweetener and humectant for food and pharmaceutical processors. Sorbitol (CAS 50-70-4) is a sugar alcohol that occurs naturally in small amounts in fruits such as apples, pears, and cherries. It is lower in calories than sucrose and is used in sugar-free and reduced-sugar formulations. This page gives the specification, key properties, packaging, and delivery terms for business buyers who need a consistent source of food grade sorbitol powder.
Sorbitol powder is a white crystalline powder with a purity of 99%. It functions as a sweetener, a humectant, and a texturizing agent in food products. It is stable under normal processing conditions and can be blended with sweeteners such as maltitol and xylitol in standard confectionery and bakery lines. The product is manufactured by Nanjing Yida Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of SUNWAY Group.
Sorbitol is about 60% as sweet as sucrose. It provides measurable sweetness below the level of table sugar, which supports sugar-free formulations where reduced sweetness is acceptable or where other sweeteners are blended in.
Sorbitol contains approximately 2.6 calories per gram, compared with about 4 calories per gram for sugar. This lower caloric value is the reason it appears in diet and reduced-calorie products.
Sorbitol retains moisture in finished products. This property improves the soft texture of baked goods, extends the shelf life of candies, and reduces the risk of sugar crystallization in syrups and fillings.
