So, what is sorbitol syrup?
Sorbitol syrup is a sugar substitute and food ingredient that is derived from glucose. It is a clear, thick syrup with a sweet taste that is often used as a low-calorie alternative to sugar in various food products. Sorbitol syrup is commonly used in sugar-free candies, chewing gum, and baked goods to add sweetness and texture. It is also used in pharmaceuticals as a coating for tablets and capsules. Sorbitol syrup is non-cariogenic, meaning it does not contribute to tooth decay, and has a low glycemic index, making it a popular choice for people with diabetes or those looking to reduce their sugar intake.
