SORBITOL 70% TECH - ADM

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

Storage Conditions
  • Sorbitol Solution, USP/FCC that is supplied in bulk tank trucks or tank railcars should be stored in stainless steel or FDA approved lined mild steel tanks equipped with ultraviolet sterile conditioning systems.
  • The product should be stored above 70°F in order to prevent crystallization. If crystals have formed, the product may be returned to its normal state with heat and gentle agitation.
  • Sorbitol is chemically and microbiologically stable and shelf life is indefinite for all practical purposes.
  • However, as pH may drift down over time, it is recommended that pH be re-tested after one year.
  • Product stored in vented tanks may decrease in water over time due to evaporation.
