What is the food additive sorbitol (CAS 50-70-4)?
Sorbitol and Sorbitol Syrup are plant-based ingredients used in food, obtained from cereals (maize and wheat) in the EU.
They belong to the Carbohydrates family. They are polyols also known as sugar alcohols.
Sorbitol additive is less sweet than sucrose (about 60% of the sweetness).Sorbitol is less caloric than sugar (2.4kcal/g instead of 4 kcal/g), can help control blood glucose response and is tooth-friendly (non-cariogenic, do not cause dental caries).
It has been used in a wide range of foods for almost half a century. It has a smooth mouthfeel with a sweet, cool and pleasant taste and a sweet, caramel-like scent. Sorbitol occurs naturally in some fruits, such as apples, pears, peaches, and prunes.
Sorbitol is an approved food additive in the EU, carrying the identifying E-number E420.

What is sorbitol solution 70% (CAS 50-70-4) used for?
Food Additive Sorbitol is a raw material made from sorbitol powder and ascorbic acid. Its hygroscopic properties prevent it from drying out and keep it fresh and soft when added to foods. Adding sorbitol liquid to condensed milk can extend its shelf life and improve the color and texture of the milk. It also has similar effects in jams and preserves.
It is used for its sweetening power in a wide variety of food products. It is a preferred ingredient in sugar-free confectionery and energy-reduced products, both for its tooth-friendliness (non-cariogenic), and low caloric value.
Why Food Manufacturers Prefer Sorbitol
- Low calories: 2.6 calories/gram vs. sugar's 4, aiding diet/weight-control products.
- Moisture retention: Hygroscopic, keeping baked/dry goods moist and chewy longer.
- Non-cariogenic: Doesn't cause tooth decay, suitable for dental products and children's snacks.
- Stabilizer: Maintains texture/volume when sugar is reduced, while adding sweetness.
- Heat stability: Resists decomposition, ideal for baked/heat-treated foods.
- Cost-effective: Cheaper than alternatives like stevia or monk fruit, with comparable taste.
