Sorbitol

Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is a sugar alcohol with a sweet taste which the human body metabolizes slowly. It can be obtained by reduction of glucose. Most Sorbitol is made from corn syrup, but it is also found in apples, pears, peaches, and prunes.

Sorbitol is a sugar substitute. It has approximately 60% the sweetness of sucrose (table sugar). It is referred to as a nutritive sweetener because it provides dietary energy. It is often used in diet foods (including diet drinks and ice cream), mints, cough syrups, and sugar-free chewing gum.

It also occurs naturally in many stone fruits and berries from trees of the genus Sorbus. Sorbitol often is used in modern cosmetics as a humectant and thickener. It is often is used in mouthwash and toothpaste. Some transparent gels can be made only with Sorbitol. It is also used as a humectant in some cigarettes.

Sorbitol sometimes is used as a sweetener and humectant in cookies and other foods that are not identified as "dietary" items. It is identified as a potential key chemical intermediate for production of fuels from biomass resources.
