Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol with a chemical structure similar to glucose, but with an additional hydrogen atom. Sorbitol is generally considered safe, absorbed, and ultimately converted into usable energy. Its sweetness is approximately 60% that of sucrose, and its glycemic index is very low, so it does not raise blood sugar levels like sucrose. It can be used as a sweetener, stabilizer, humectant, emulsifier, leavening agent, and thickener, and is commonly used in food processing, including candy, beverages, sauces, chocolate, and ice cream.

Its unique advantages are high sweetness, low calories, moisture retention, and prevention of tooth decay.

1. As an important food additive.
2. Sorbitol enters the colon, creating a hypertonic environment in the intestines, absorbing more water, promoting fermentation, and effectively alleviating constipation.
3. Sorbitol can improve fertilizer utilization and has a positive effect on promoting crop growth and quality.
