Wissenswertes über "Sorbitol"
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol (also known as a polyol) that occurs naturally in stone fruit such as apples, pears and plums.
In the food industry, sorbitol is used as a sugar substitute as it has around 60% of the sweetening power of household sugar, but provides significantly fewer calories. In addition, sorbitol only slightly increases blood sugar levels, which is why it is often used in sugar-free or "light" products such as chewing gum, sweets or diet foods.
Sorbitol is also a humectant and stabiliser, which also makes it useful in toothpastes and cosmetics. However, if consumed in excess, sorbitol can have a laxative effect, as it is only partially absorbed in the small intestine and binds water in the large intestine, triggering fermentation processes. People with sorbitol intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome should therefore pay attention to their consumption. In the European Union, sorbitol is authorised under the E number E 420
