Nutrytex distributes and sells sorbitol throughout the country for all industrial applications related to the food & beverage sector

Sorbitol is a six-carbon alcohol, identifiable as a polyalcohol and therefore similar to common carbohydrates, very similar to maltitol. In nature it is present in pears, apples, cherries and peaches, but more often it is obtained by synthesis from potato starch, by reducing glucose. It has the appearance of a white, colorless powder, but can also be presented in liquid form.

As a food additive, the distribution of sorbitol is required in many different sectors with the same function, that of a sweetener with a low caloric impact. In addition to this, its hygroscopic characteristic often makes it selected as a humectant in soft desserts, to retain water molecules in the dough, extending the useful shelf life of the product before it becomes stale and hardens. These characteristics make it highly sought after as a sweetener in the beverage, confectionery, dairy and nutrition sectors.
