What is sorbitol and how is it produced?

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener and humectant in various food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It is produced through a process called high pressure catalytic hydrogenation, where glucose or other sugars are chemically converted into sorbitol in the presence of hydrogen gas and a catalyst under high pressure conditions.

What are the benefits of using sorbitol?

Sorbitol offers several benefits, including being low in calories compared to regular sugar, having a lower glycemic index, and being suitable for diabetic diets. It also has humectant properties, helping to retain moisture in food and cosmetic products.

Are there any side effects associated with sorbitol consumption?

While sorbitol is generally considered safe for consumption, excessive intake can lead to gastrointestinal issues, such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea. It is recommended to consume it in moderation, especially for individuals sensitive to sugar alcohols.
