So, what is sorbitolo?
Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is a sugar alcohol commonly used as a sweetener in food products. It is a white, odorless, and crystalline powder with a sweet taste that is approximately 60% as sweet as sugar. Sorbitol is naturally found in some fruits and vegetables, but it is mostly produced by hydrogenation of glucose. It has a lower calorie content than sugar and is often used in sugar-free or reduced-calorie foods. Sorbitol is also used as a humectant, which means it helps to retain moisture in foods and prevent them from drying out. However, consumption of large amounts of sorbitol can cause digestive issues such as bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
