Sorbitol; application, properties and features
Sorbitol is a chemical with unique and unique properties. This chemical consists of atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Sorbitol can be called an alcohol, because there are six hydroxy groups in its structure. Hydroxy or OH groups cause the sorbitol molecule to behave like an alcohol as well as a multifactorial sugar. In other words, the number of hydroxides in the chemical structure of sorbitol has given it special properties.
A name is derived from sorbitol in almost every industry that is associated with food and food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic ingredients. Sorbitol is one of the most popular natural chemicals among the variety of raw materials for the production of quality products in the food and feed industry.

Physical, chemical and other properties of sorbitol:
Sorbitol is an alcoholic beverage naturally found in some foods and fruits.
As mentioned in the previous section, there are 6 hydroxyl groups in the chemical structure of sorbitol; these hydroxy groups can participate in oxidation reactions - they become aldehyde or alcoholic agents. From the oxidation of this sugar, a new molecule called fructose is produced, which is a natural sugar in most fruits. The molecular structure of sorbitol is shown in the figure.
The location of hydroxy groups in the subbitol molecule will produce different physical and chemical properties. Sorbitol is used both in laboratory scale and in industrial scale. The following table summarizes the physical and chemical properties of sorbitol.

Safety Tips and Warnings on Working with Sorbitol Chemical:
Sorbitol is an organic organic chemical with a vegetable base, which is organically found in many foods and fruits. The complications associated with the production of sorbitol in the industry are not significant, and are more closely related to the sudden absorption of this substance by the individual. Swallowing sorbitol does not have harmful effects on the human body, but in some substances it affects the gastrointestinal system and exacerbates it.
Sorbitols are known as food sweeteners and drug addicts; drugs that contain sorbitol should be taken according to the physician's instructions and observing the warning in the catalog. This drug is used as a source of carbohydrates in food for people with diabetes and in non-sugar products.
