What is sorbitol (E420)?

Sorbitol is a polyol (sugar alcohol) obtained mainly from the hydrogenation of glucose. It is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries due to its sweetening power, humectant capacity, and stabilising properties.

As a sorbitol sweetener, it provides around 60% of the sweetness of sucrose, with lower caloric content and excellent moisture‑retention performance.

How sorbitol is produced

Industrial sorbitol is obtained through the catalytic hydrogenation of glucose, resulting in a stable, non‑crystallising polyol suitable for multiple applications.

LIQUID SORBITOL

Liquid sorbitol is widely used in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing due to its excellent humectant and stabilising properties.

Benefits:

Moisture retention for baked goods and confectionery.
Non‑crystallising behaviour ideal for syrups and fillings.
Clean sweetness with reduced calories.
Improved texture and shelf life in industrial formulations.

SOLID SORBITOL

Solid sorbitol is commonly used in tablets, powdered mixes, confectionery and specialised food applications.

Benefits:

High purity for food and pharma use.
Excellent compressibility for tablets and powders.
Stable and easy to dose in dry formulations.
Low hygroscopicity compared to other polyols.

Applications of sorbitol

Sorbitol is used across multiple industrial sectors:

Confectionery: Chewing gum, candies, fillings, coatings.
Bakery: Moisture retention in cakes, pastries and doughs.
Beverages: Low‑calorie drinks and functional beverages.
Dairy: Ice creams, yoghurts and stabilised desserts.
Pharmaceuticals: Syrups, tablets, vitamin gummies.
Cosmetics: Creams, gels and personal care products.

Its humectant and stabilising properties make it a preferred ingredient for manufacturers across Europe and the U.K.
