Sorbitol
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol sweetener widely used for its mild sweetness and important functional benefits, including moisture retention, texture improvement, and shelf-life extension. It is available in both liquid and powder forms, allowing manufacturers to choose the most suitable option for their production process.
Beyond sweetness, sorbitol acts as a humectant, helping products remain soft and stable over time. It is commonly used in sugar-reduced and sugar-free formulations and is valued for its neutral taste and good compatibility with other ingredients.
