Sorbitoliin
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol also known as sorbite. It is a naturally occurring sugar substitute found in many fruits such as apples, pears, and peaches. It is also manufactured commercially from glucose. Sorbitol is commonly used as a sweetener and a humectant in a wide variety of products, including sugar-free candies, baked goods, and pharmaceuticals. It is about 60% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar) and has fewer calories.
As a humectant, sorbitol helps retain moisture, which is why it is often added to cosmetics and
Sorbitol is poorly absorbed by the small intestine, which is why it is used in "sugar-free" products.
