Description

D-Iditol is a high-purity sugar alcohol, also known as D-Sorbitol, valued for its humectant, sweetening, and texturizing properties. This versatile compound is essential for formulators seeking a non-cariogenic, low-calorie, and chemically stable polyol. It is a critical raw material for the pharmaceutical, food, and personal care industries, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Widely used as a sweetener, humectant, and bulking agent in syrups, chewable tablets, and sugar-free liquid formulations.
• Food & Beverage Additive: Functions as a sugar substitute, texturizer, and moisture-retention agent in confectionery, baked goods, and dietetic foods.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Serves as an effective humectant and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, toothpastes, and mouthwashes.
• Chemical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and various surfactants or resins.
• Industrial Applications: Employed as a plasticizer and stabilizer in paper, tobacco, and adhesive products.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking.
