Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol, which is a poorly digestible carbohydrate that either naturally occurs in fruits or is semi-artificially produced and added as a low calorie sweetener to various commercial foods.
Sorbitol is chemically similar to fructose and mannitol.Other names for sorbitol: sorbit, glucitol.
Nutrition Facts:
* Calories per gram = 2.6
* Glycemic index (GI) = 9
* Sweetness, relative to sucrose = 60%
* Net crabs = zero
Sorbitol occurs naturally in significant amounts in grapes, prunes, cherries, peaches, apples, pears and apricots and in related fruit juices.
HIGHLIGHTS
Sorbitol is a type of carbohydrate called a sugar alcohol, or polyol.
Sorbitol contains about one-third fewer calories than sugar and is 60 percent as sweet.
Sorbitol occurs naturally in a variety of berries and fruits (e.g., apples and blackberries).
Sorbitol is also commercially produced and is the most commonly used polyol in the U.S.
Sorbitol's safety has been confirmed by global health authorities.
Sorbitol, when eaten in excessive amounts, can cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
SORBITOL AND HEALTH
Like most sugar alcohols, sorbitol is neither as sweet as nor as calorie-dense as sugar. Sorbitol is about 60 percent as sweet as sugar and has about 35 percent fewer calories per gram (2.6 calories for sorbitol compared to 4 calories for sugar).
But sorbitol's contributions to health go beyond calories. Studies on sorbitol metabolism date back as far as the 1920s, when researchers began testing sorbitol as a potential carbohydrate substitute in people with diabetes. Since that time, the benefits of sugar alcohols and how the body uses them have become better understood. Two areas where sugar alcohols are known for their positive effects are oral health and impact on blood sugar.
