Sorbitol is a type of carbohydrate called a sugar alcohol, or polyol. Sorbitol contains about one-third fewer calories than sugar and is 60 percent as sweet. Sorbitol occurs naturally in a variety of berries and fruits (e.g., apples and blackberries). Appearance：White powder
Particle Size：； 40~80 mesh / Assay：≥ 99.0% / Moisture：≤1.0% / Residue on Ignition：≤ 0.1% / Reducing Sugar：≤0.3%. Sorbitol, less commonly 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, which changes the converted aldehyde group to a primary alcohol group. / Formula: C6H14O6 / Molar mass: 182.17 g/mol
