ADM Sorbitol Solution 70%, USP/FCC, is a clear, colorless, and odorless aqueous solution containing about 71% total solids consisting essentially of D-Sorbitol with a small amount of mannitol and other polyhydric alcohols. It is a superior humectant in a wide range of products, including confections, cosmetics, and certain beverages and foods. Because of its sweet but non-cariogenic nature, it is used in sugar free foods, dentifrices, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a plasticizer, stabilizer and as a raw material in the manufacture of sorbitan esters/polysorbates and polyurethanes.
