Storage & Handling
- 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.
