Sorbitol is a natural sugar alcohol widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other fields, primarily as a sweetener, humectant, stabilizer, and pharmaceutical excipient. It possesses characteristics such as low caloric content and low cariogenic potential, making it suitable for specific populations such as diabetic patients. Additionally, it serves industrial applications including lubrication and plasticizing functions.
