What's Sorbitol?

Sorbitol (glucose alcohol) is a sugar alcohol that can be slowly metabolized by humans, similar in structure to monosaccharides, and can be obtained by reducing the aldehyde group on glucose to a hydroxyl group.

it is a new type of sweetener prepared from glucose. It is a colorless, odorless, clear, and sweet tasting application. Thick liquid or white crystalline powder, with excellent preservation, fragrance retention, color retention, and moisturizing properties, is widely used in industries such as food, medicine, and chemical industry.

Physical and chemical properties

1. Form of existence

The main forms of sorbitol are liquid and solid:  the liquid sorbitol is mostly a colorless transparent aqueous solution of 50% or 70%; the Solid appears as a white needle shaped, flake shaped, or granular crystalline powder, some containing 0.5 or 1 molecule of crystalline water.

2. Flavor and sweetness

The unique flavor is refreshing and refreshing, with a sweetness of about 60% of the same concentration of sucrose.

3. Solubility and viscosity

Sorbitol Powder  is highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in methanol, ethanol, and acetic acid. At 20 ℃, its solubility is 220g/100mL of water, while sucrose is only 195g/100mL of water. Due to its high solubility in water, it is not easily crystallized in industrial production. Under the same conditions, its viscosity aqueous solution is slightly lower than that of sucrose.

4. Moisture absorption and moisturizing properties

it has a high hygroscopicity, with a much greater hygroscopicity than sucrose and slightly less than glycerol. It is prone to moisture absorption and clumping when the relative humidity of the air is high; However, its hygroscopicity in the gamma crystal form is relatively low. Extend the shelf life of the product.

5. Freezing point reduction

its aqueous solution can cause a decrease in freezing point. When applied to frozen food, it can avoid the appearance of ice residue, reduce the precipitation of crystal suspension or precipitation, and effectively improve the taste of the product.

6. Stability

its molecules do not contain reducing groups, have relatively stable chemical properties, are non combustible, non volatile, acid and alkali resistant, and are not easily oxidized by air. it has good thermal stability; Under certain reaction conditions, it can undergo dehydration oxidation, esterification, etherification, and other reactions. It can also chelate various metal ions in strong acidic and alkaline solutions.

7. Osmotic pressure

Its molecular weight is slightly larger than glucose, so the osmotic pressure is similar to glucose, which is 1.88 times that of sucrose. A higher osmotic pressure means a stronger resistance to microorganisms, which can be used to control microorganisms in fruits, vegetables, and sauces.

Application area

1. Daily chemical industry

it is used as an excipient, moisturizer, and antifreeze in toothpaste, with a dosage of up to 25-30%. It can maintain the lubrication of the paste, with good color and taste; As an anti drying agent in cosmetics (replacing glycerol), it can enhance the stretchability and lubricity of emulsifiers and is suitable for long-term storage; Sorbitan fatty acid esters and their epoxyethane adducts have the advantage of low skin irritation and are widely used in the cosmetics industry.

2. Food industry

Adding it to food can prevent it from drying and cracking, keeping it fresh and soft. Used in bread and cake, it has a significant effect.

It has a lower sweetness than sucrose and is not utilized by certain bacteria. It is an important raw material for producing sugar free candies and various anti caries foods. Since the metabolism of this product does not cause blood sugar to rise, it can also be used as a sweetener and nutrient for food for diabetics.

It does not contain aldehyde groups and is not easily oxidized. When heated, it does not react with amino acids to form a Maillard reaction. It has certain physiological activity and can prevent the denaturation of carotenoids, edible fats, and proteins. Adding this product to concentrated milk can extend the shelf life and improve the color, aroma, and flavor of the small intestine. It has a significant stabilizing and long-term preservation effect on fish sauce. It also has a similar effect in jam and preserves.

3. The pharmaceutical industry

It can be used as a raw material for the production of vitamin C; It can also be used as a raw material for syrup, intravenous infusion, pharmaceutical tablet pressing, as a drug dispersant, filler, cryoprotectant, anti crystallization agent, traditional Chinese medicine stabilizer, wetting agent, capsule plasticizer, sweetener, ointment matrix, etc.

4. Chemical industry

its rosin resin is a common raw material for building coatings, which can be used as a plasticizer and lubricant in polyvinyl chloride resins and other polymers.

Complex with iron, copper, and aluminum ions in alkaline solutions, used for bleaching and washing in the textile industry.

It and propylene oxide can be used as starting materials to produce rigid polyurethane foam with certain flame retardancy.

Production methods

The production of Sorbitol Powder in China mostly adopts the method of continuous or intermittent hydrogenation of refined glucose obtained from starch saccharification under medium pressure:

C6H12O6+H2 [Ni] → C6H14O6

Add 53% glucose aqueous solution and 0.1% nickel catalyst (for glucose) to a high-pressure vessel, replace the air, and hydrogenation is carried out under conditions of approximately 3.5 MPa, 150 ℃, and pH values of 8.2-8.4. The residual sugar at the endpoint is controlled below 0.5%. After 5 minutes of precipitation, refine the sorbitol solution ion exchange resin to obtain the product. The above process flow is simple, and qualified products can be obtained without separation, and there is no "three wastes" pollution. However, for starch, the yield is only 50%, so the cost is relatively high. If a new process of direct hydrogenation of starch saccharification solution is adopted, the yield can reach 85%.
