Sorbitol humectant

Humectants. In certain foods, it is necessary to control the amount of water that enters or exits the product. It is for this purpose that humectants are employed. Polyhydric alcohols (polyols), which include propylene glycol [57-55-6], C2Hg02, glycerol [56-81-5], C HgO, sorbitol [50-70-4], and mannitol [69-65-8], contain numerous hydroxyl groups (see Alcohols,polyhydric). Their stmcture makes them hydrophilic and... 

Humectants such as propylene glycol, glycerol, sorbitol, or calcium chloride can prevent drying and caking. 

An oral dental riase geaeraHy coasists of water, alcohol, a humectant, an emulsifier, flavor, color, and an active agent. Water is the primary vehicle. The alcohol provides bite and is also a formulation aid. The humectant improves the feel ia the mouth and also prevents locking of the cap to the container between uses glycerin or noncrystaUiziag sorbitol may be satisfactory. The emulsifier is a nonionic type, for example, a polyoxyethylene—polyoxypropylene block copolymer or a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester. Flavors are generally a type of mint or cinnamon. Colors are FD C or D C. 

Sorbitol is used in low-calorie candies and in many other foods as both a sweetener and a humectant (moisture-retaining ingredient). It also is used as an emollient (skin softener) in soaps. 

Sodium PCA is hygroscopic, attracting moisture from the air. It is used as a humectant (moisturizer) for hair- and skin-care products. It is a stronger hydrating agent than the traditional compounds used for this purpose, such as glycerin, propylene glycol, or sorbitol.

The hexitols are colorless crystalline solids of sweet taste and varying solubility in water. Sorbitol is very soluble in water and is quite hygroscopic, being used commercially as a humectant. In general, the hexitols may be recrystallized from solutions in the lower alcohols, but they are insoluble in most other common organic solvents. 

Sorbitol is a hexahydric alcohol that is isomeric with mannitol, and which has been described as a humectant, plasticizer, sweetening agent, and tablet and capsule diluent. It is used extensively in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries, since it has a sweet taste and approximately 50-60% the sweetness of sucrose. 

Humectants—Humectants such as glycerine and sorbitol (5-20% of the mouthwashes) increase the viscosity of the preparation and enhance the sweetness of the final product. It also enhances the preservative property of the product along with alcohol.

Similar to ink-jet inks, aqueous drawing and writing inks contain water miscible cosolvents as humectants or moisturizers (e.g., glycols, glycerin, or sorbitol), which stabilize the ink in the pen and at the nib. Typically, biocides and tensides are added to the ink formulation. 

The use of sorbitol in enhancing the clarity of urea-formaldehyde resins is described in a patent (30) as is also its use with inorganic materials to form useful plastics (31). A dianhydride of sorbitol is described as a humectant for tobacco (34). The main industrial studies of Goepp were concerned with the use of sorbitol and D-mannitol in the manufacture of resins of the ester gum (esters with rosin acids) or alkyd (linseed oil-phthalic anhydride-hexitol) types (32, 14). It was shown that in the preparation of these polyesters the behavior of the hexitols is... 

Polyols occur in many plant products. Sorbitol was first isolated from the berries of mountain ash (Sorbiis aucuparia). Commercially sorbitol is manufactured by the hydrogenation of glucose. Marmitol occurs in many terrestrial and marine plants. Potential food applications of polyols include confectionery products, bakery products, deserts, jams and marmalade. Sorbitol is an excellent moisture conditioner and is used in pharmaceutical preparations such as elixirs and syrups. Sorbitol, as a humectant in creams and lotions helps to stabilize the water content, providing better moisture control. The use of sorbitol or xylitol in toothpaste and mouthwashes is highly desirable.

Humectants. Low molecular weight materials such as glycerol and sorbitol are included in some products to reduce water loss and may be readily metabolized unless present in high concentrations (see section 2.3.3).
