Sorbitol

As a widely used food and beverage additive, sorbitol is largely procured as a no to low calorie alternative to traditional table sugar with a less sweet flavor profile. Everyday products commonly manufactured with sorbitol include sugar-free soda, low sugar juice, ice cream, mints, candy, chewing gum, and syrups. In addition to food and beverage manufacturing, sorbitol is utilized as a thickener and humectant in personal-care and health care formulations, such as creams, gels, pastes, moisturizers, toothpastes, and other various viscous items.
