Description
Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is a sugar alcohol that the human
body metabolizes slowly. It can be obtained by reduction of
glucose, changing the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group. Sorbitol
is found in apples, pears, peaches, and prunes.It is synthesized by
sorbitol**-phosphate dehydrogenase and sorbitol dehydrogenase, and
converted to fructose by succinate dehydrogenase.Succinate
dehydrogenase is an enzyme complex that participates in the citric
acid cycle.
It is made of the glucose under the high temperature,heigh pressure
and hydrogenation with the nickel.It has a cool sweet taste and the
sweet taste is same as the *0% sucrose.It can prevent the food
become dryness,aging and extend the shelf life for its hygroscopic
function.It also can keep the balance of all sapors and add other
tinges of food.On the other hand,it has a big effect for keeping
the fragrance for that it has not volatilization.
Application:
1,Food instury:Candies products:Nice chewy texture,nice
wet-keeping,preventing spilt,quality maintain,fragrant maintain
sugar-free.Fish products:Prevented denaturation of the fish
cellulary tissue in the freezing period,low sweetness,and prevent
the brown turned.
2,Chemistry:Toothpaste,Cosmetic:Maintain the paste lubricating,nice
colour and chewy texture.Enhance the extensibility and prevent the
brown turned.
3,Pharmaceutical industry:Raw materials of Vitamin C.Metetials of
surup,injection transfusion'medical pressde tablet.
4,Chemical industry:To produce the Surface active agent such as
Span.Tween.
