Sorbitol The main purpose
The main purpose
1. Can be used for the production of vitamin C raw materials, sorbitol by fermentation and chemical synthesis can be made of vitamin C. It can also be used as a raw material for industrial surfactants, and it is used to produce surfactants of Stern and Tween. Sorbitol has a moisturizing performance, can replace glycerol, used in toothpaste, cigarettes and cosmetics production. With sorbitol and propylene oxide as raw materials, can produce a certain flame retardant polyurethane rigid foam. In the food industry, can be used as sweeteners, moisturizers, chelating agents and tissue improvers. In the pharmaceutical industry, sorbitol through nitrification of sorbitan ester is the treatment of coronary heart disease drugs. Food additives, cosmetics raw materials, organic synthesis materials, moisturizers, solvents and so on.
2. Nutritional sweeteners, wetting agents, chelating agents and stabilizers. Is a special sweetener with moisturizing function. In the human body is not converted to glucose, not subject to insulin control, suitable for people with diabetes. Can be used for pastry, the maximum use of 5.0g / kg; in the surimi and its products in the maximum use of 0.5g / kg. But also for defoamers, for sugar technology, brewing process and soybean products process, according to the production needs of appropriate use. Can also be used for raisins moisturizing, alcoholic, refreshing drink thickening, fragrant, and candy and chewing gum.
3. Synthetic resin and plastic, separation and analysis of low boiling point oxygen compounds. Also used as a gas chromatographic fixative, thickener, hardener, insecticide and so on.
4. Used as a gas chromatographic fixative for the separation of low boiling oxygen compounds, amine compounds, nitrogen or oxygen heterocyclic compounds. Also used for organic synthesis.
5. Used as a toothpaste, cosmetics, tobacco moisture regulator. Is a substitute for glycerol, moisturizing than glycerol ease, taste is also better. Can be used in conjunction with other moisturizers to achieve synergistic effects. Also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a raw material for the manufacture of vitamin C.
6. Diuretic dehydrating agent. For the treatment of cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure, the treatment of glaucoma increased intraocular pressure, but also for normal renal and renal edema, oliguria.
7. Aquatic preservatives. Compared with sucrose 2.1% + sorbitol 3.15% + complex phosphate 1.00%, the activity of dry fish was improved and Ca-ATPase activity was increased.
application
According to China's "food additives use health standards" (GB2760-1996) provides: sorbitol (liquid) according to the production needs for ice cream, popsicles, cakes, beverages, biscuits, bread, pickles, candy. In actual production, sorbitol can be used as a nutritional sweetener, wetting agent, chelating agent and stabilizer. The use of sorbitol food for diabetes, liver disease, cholecystitis patients eat. In addition to as a sweetener accident, sorbitol also has a moisturizing, chelating metal ions, improve the organization (so that the cake is delicate, to prevent the aging of starch) role.
EBay discontinued
Online auction company EBay Inc (EBAY) March 22, 2012 announced that the Italian weekend after the occurrence of patients taking online poisoning sorbitol lethal incident, has been on a global scale to prevent the sale of such products on its website.
