How to use
Sorbitol has approximately 60% the sweetness of Sucrose. It also works well with other ingredients and may even be synergistic with other sweeteners. Thus, when used in combination a synergistic blend is obtained which provides taste, economic and stability advantages compared with individual sweeteners. In liquid preparations, Sorbitol is used as a vehicle in sugar-free formulations and as a stabilizer for drug, vitamin, and antacid suspensions. It may be substituted for Sucrose to prepare 70 – 90% w/v syrups. Sorbitol is used in liquid parenteral biologic formulations to stabilise biological molecules in the liquid state. It has been used as a carrier to enhance the dissolution rate of drug substances such as Indomethacin. In liquids (syrups) Sorbitol is effective in preventing crystallization around the cap of bottles. Sorbitol is additionally used in injectable and topical preparations, and therapeutically as an osmotic laxative.
