Storage & Handling

Storage Information

SORBITOL 70- USP FCC - ADM 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 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.
