Functions and applications of sorbitol liquid:
1. Sweetener: Sorbitol liquid is mainly used as a sweetener in food, especially in low-sugar or sugar-free foods. Since its sweetness is lower than sucrose, a larger dose is usually required to achieve the same sweetness when used.
2. Humectant: Sorbitol liquid has good hygroscopicity, so it can effectively maintain the moisture of food, prevent drying, and extend the shelf life of food. It is commonly used in candy, chewing gum, baked goods, etc.
3. Low-sugar food: Due to the low-calorie characteristics of sorbitol, it is often used in diabetic foods, low-sugar foods, weight loss foods, and children's foods, providing sweetness while avoiding the calorie burden brought by high sugar.
4. Prevent crystallization: In the production of some candies and syrups, sorbitol liquid is used as an additive to prevent crystallization to ensure the consistency of the taste and appearance of the product.
5. Improved stability: In some beverages and juices, sorbitol liquid can help improve the stability of beverages, prevent stratification or precipitation of ingredients, and improve the uniformity of taste.
6. Frozen food: Sorbitol liquid is also widely used in frozen food. It can effectively prevent the formation of ice crystals and ensure that the product maintains a good taste and texture during the freezing process.
