Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is a sugar substitute that is also called nutritive sweetener because it provides energy – 2,6 kcal per gram compared to an average of 4 kcal for carbohydrates.
It occurs in nature in many types of fruit. When used in liquid form, it is most usually a 70 % solution.
It is often used in production of dietary drinks, ice cream, cough syrup and “sugar-free” chewing gum.
It also has wide medical and cosmetic usage.
