Sorbitol Powder Food Grade

Sorbitol powder is used as a sweetener humectant and texturizer in food and nutritional products. Sorbitol Powder Food Grade is a versatile white crystalline sugar alcohol used as a sugar substitute, humectant, and stabilizer in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It is roughly 60% as sweet as sucrose, provides low-calorie sweetening, and prevents candy or baked goods from drying out. It offers a high-purity (typically >98%) powder that is highly soluble.
