Sorbitol Powder is a sugar alcohol appearing as a white, crystalline, odorless, and sweet-tasting powder. It is widely used in pharmaceutical and laboratory formulations for its humectant, stabilizing, and solubilizing properties.
🏭⚗️ Production
Sorbitol is produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of glucose derived from corn starch under controlled conditions. The resulting product is a highly pure, water-soluble powder suitable for pharmaceutical and laboratory applications.
🔬 Properties
Sorbitol Powder is highly soluble in water, chemically stable, non-hygroscopic under controlled conditions, and non-fermentable. It functions as an effective humectant, helping to retain moisture in formulations, and as a stabilizer to improve texture and shelf-life of topical products. It is non-toxic and generally non-irritating.
🧪 Applications
In pharmaceutical formulations, Sorbitol Powder is used in oral syrups, lozenges, tablets, and topical creams or gels to provide sweetness, humectancy, and stability. It also acts as a carrier for active pharmaceutical ingredients and can improve the solubility of hydrophobic compounds.
In laboratory settings, Sorbitol Powder is utilized as a stabilizer, humectant, and osmotic agent in buffer solutions, experimental formulations, and drug delivery studies. It also serves as a cryoprotectant in certain biological experiments.
⚠️ Safety
Sorbitol Powder is generally recognized as safe for oral and topical use in recommended concentrations. It is non-toxic, non-irritating, and hypoallergenic for most individuals. Overconsumption orally may have a mild laxative effect. Standard handling procedures, including proper storage and hygiene, should be followed to ensure safety during pharmaceutical or laboratory use.
