SORBITOL 70% USP FCC - ADM

SORBITOL 70% SOLUTION USP FCC - ADM, is a clear, colorless, odorless aqueous solution containing about 71% total solids, primarily D-Sorbitol with small amounts of mannitol and other polyhydric alcohols. It serves as an excellent humectant in a variety of products, including confections, cosmetics, tobacco, and adhesives. It adds body and flavor to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, certain beverages, and foods. Due to its sweet but non-cariogenic nature, it is used in sugar-free foods, dentifrices, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it functions as a plasticizer, stabilizer, and raw material in the production of sorbitan esters, polysorbates, and polyurethanes.

  • 600 lb. drums

Storage & Handling

Shelf Life and Storage Condition
  • Sorbitol Solution, USP/FCC that is supplied in bulk tank trucks or tank railcars should be stored in stainless steel or FDA approved lined mild steel tanks equipped with ultraviolet sterile conditioning systems. The product should be stored above 70°F in order to prevent crystallization.
  • If crystals have formed, the product may be returned to its normal state with heat and gentle agitation. Sorbitol is chemically and microbiologically stable and the shelf life is indefinite for all practical purposes. However, as pH may drift down over time, it is recommended that pH be re-tested after one year. Product stored in vented tanks may decrease in water over time due to evaporation.
