Description

Sorbitol (C₆H₁₄O₆)

Sorbitol, also known as D-glucitol, is a sugar alcohol compound widely used as a natural sweetening agent, humectant, and moisturizer across food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. It is a colorless, viscous, odorless liquid derived primarily from glucose hydrogenation, offering sweetness with fewer calories than regular sugar.

At Davar ChemTech, we are one of the leading Sorbitol suppliers in India, offering pharmaceutical-grade, food-grade, and industrial-grade Sorbitol that meets international quality standards. Our Sorbitol 70% solution and Sorbitol powder are trusted globally for consistent purity, performance, and stability.

What is Sorbitol?

Sorbitol (C₆H₁₄O₆) is a biodegradable polyol compound classified as a sugar alcohol. It occurs naturally in many fruits such as apples, pears, and peaches, but is industrially produced by hydrogenating glucose. Sorbitol is non-crystallizing, non-volatile, and highly stable under normal conditions.

Known for its moisture retention and non-cariogenic (tooth-friendly) nature, Sorbitol is an excellent food additive stabilizer and pharmaceutical excipient. Its mild sweetness (about 60% of sucrose) and low caloric value make it suitable for sugar-free and diabetic-friendly products.
