Overview
Sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, is used widely in the food and pharmaceutical industries. It is a key ingredient in sugar-free products and serves as a humectant, texturizer, and anti-caking agent.
Uses
Sorbitol is commonly used in the manufacture of food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It is also used as a sweetener in sugar-free and diabetic-friendly products.
Regulatory
Sorbitol is regulated by various international bodies, including the FDA and EFSA, to ensure its safety in food and pharmaceutical applications. It must comply with specific purity criteria and usage limits.
Monitoring
Regular monitoring of sorbitol levels in food and pharmaceuticals is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Analytical methods such as HPLC and GC are commonly used for this purpose.
Health Impact
Human Toxicity
While generally considered safe, excessive consumption of sorbitol can lead to gastrointestinal issues such as bloating and diarrhea. It is crucial for manufacturers to adhere to recommended usage levels.
Environmental Impact
Effects on Wildlife
Sorbitol is biodegradable and poses minimal risk to the environment. However, it is essential to monitor its levels in wastewater to prevent potential ecological impacts.
Safety Measure
