Sorbitol, also called D-sorbitol, CAS 50-70-4, E420, and D-glucitol, is a type of carbohydrate. It falls into a category of sugar alcohols called polyols.
This water-soluble compound is found naturally in some fruits, including apples, apricots, dates, berries, peaches, plums, and figs.
It's also commercially manufactured from corn syrup for use in packaged foods, beverages, and medications.
Commercially, sorbitol is used to preserve moisture, add sweetness, and provide texture to products, as well as potentially support digestive and oral health.
