In the food industry, sorbitol has hygroscopicity, so adding sorbitol to food can prevent the food from dry cracking and keep food fresh and fluffy. There is an obvious effect when sorbitol is used in bread and cake.
Sorbitol sweetness, which is lower than sucrose, and is not affected by some bacteria, is a good ingredient to produce candy. It can be used to produce sugar-free food, weight loss food, anti-constipation food, anti-caries food, diabetes food and so on.
Sorbitol does not contain aldehyde group, is not easy to be oxidized, and does not produce Maillard reaction of amino acids when heated. It has certain physiological activity and can prevent the degeneration of carotenoids and edible fats and proteins.
