Sorbitol metabolism. Excessive sorbitol formation from glucose has been suggested as a cause for diabetic complications, especially neuropathies and cataracts . One approach to the control of these diabetic complications would be to limit sorbitol production using inhibitors of aldose reductase, the enzyme which converts glucose to sorbitol. A study in strep-tozotocin-induced diabetic rats with AY-22,284 (I), an orally active aldose reductase inhibitor, has been reported to be successful .

In history, sorbitol production was concentrated in Europe and North America. In the late 1950s, China began producing sorbitol to manufacture vitamin C. Today, it is the largest producer worldwide, and China is exporting to Ethiopia, Korea, Pakistan, The Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and West Africa. Indonesia is home to the second largest producer of starch sweeteners and sorbitol, PT Sorini Agro Asia Corp. Consumption is dominated by China and the United States (United States International Trade Commission, 2010).
