Sorbitol CAS 50-70-4 Sor

Sorbitol, also known as sorbitol, hexanol, D-sorbitol, is a kind of non-volatile polyalcohols, chemically stable, not easy to be oxidized by the air, soluble in water, hot ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, butanol, cyclohexanol, phenol, acetone, acetic acid and dimethylformamide, widely distributed in the natural world in the plant fruits, is not easy to be a variety of microorganisms fermentation, heat-resistant, high temperature (200 ℃), also not decomposed, initially by the French Boussingault et al. Under (200 ℃) also does not decompose, initially by the French Boussingault and other isolated from the mountain strawberry, saturated aqueous solution of PH value of 6 ~ 7, and mannitol, tylenol, galactitol isomers, with a cool sweetness, sweetness of 65% of the sucrose, the calorific value is very low. With good hygroscopicity, it has extremely wide range of roles in food, daily chemicals, medicine and other industries. Applied in food can prevent food from drying, aging, prolonging the shelf life of the product, and effectively prevent the crystallization of sugar salts and other precipitation in the food, which can maintain the balance of the intensity of the sweet, sour, and bitter tastes and increase the flavor of the food. It can be produced by heating and pressurizing hydrogenation of glucose in the presence of nickel catalyst.
