Product Description
Sorbitol 70%
Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is a sugar alcohol, which the human body metabolizes slowly.
It can be obtained by reduction of glucose, changing the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group. Most sorbitol is made from corn syrup, but it is also found in apples, pears, peaches, and prunes.It is synthesized by sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and converted to fructose by succinate dehydrogenase and sorbitol dehydrogenase.
Succinate dehydrogenase is an enzyme complex that participates in the citric acid cycle.
