Sorbitol is chemically similar to fructose and mannitol.Other names for sorbitol: sorbit, glucitol.
Nutrition Facts:
* Calories per gram = 2.6
* Glycemic index (GI) = 9
* Sweetness, relative to sucrose = 60%
* Net crabs = zero
Sorbitol occurs naturally in significant amounts in grapes, prunes, cherries, peaches, apples, pears and apricots and in related fruit juices.

Sorbitol (liquid) can be used in ice cream, popsicles, cakes, beverages, biscuits, bread, pickles, and candies according to production needs.
In actual production, sorbitol can be used as a nutritive sweetener, humectant, chelating agent and stabilizer.
Foods that use sorbitol can be consumed by patients with diabetes, liver disease, and cholecystitis.
In addition to being used as a sweetener, sorbitol also has the functions of moisturizing, chelating metal ions, and improving tissue (making cakes delicate and preventing starch aging).
