- Sorbitol, also known as
glucitol, is a sugar alcohol the body metabolises slowly. It is obtained
by reduction of glucose changing the aldehyde group to an additional
hydroxyl group hence the name sugar alcohol.
-
Sorbitol is identified as a
potential key chemical intermediate from biomass resources.
Complete reduction of sorbitol opens the way to alkanes such as hexane
which can be used as a biofuel. Sorbitol itself provides much of the
hydrogen required for the transformation.
- Sorbitol and mannitol
are isomers, substances with the same chemical formula, but a different
shape.Sorbitol can be described as a glucose molecule with two hydrogens
added. The two extra hydrogens are on either side of what used to be the
double bond connecting the oxygen to the carbon, which is now a single
bond. This changes the molecule just enough to make it harder for the
body to absorb, while still tasting sweet on the tongue.
- Hydrogenation of
glucose to sorbitol is an industrially important chemical process
because of wide applications of sorbitol in food, drug and cosmetics.1
For example, D-sorbitol is an intermediate in the synthesis of vitamin
C. Also, hydrogenation of glucose to sorbitol followed by aqueous phase
reforming has been recently suggested as a route for the production of
H2 and fuels from biomass.
- Sorbitol dehydrogenase
(SDH) is a member of the superfamily of medium chain dehydrogenases/
reductases. SDH, the second enzyme in the polyol pathway, oxidizes
sorbitol to fructose in the presence of NAD. Recent studies have shown
that flux via polyol pathway enzymes aldose reductase and sorbitol
dehydrogenase is required to mediate vascular and neurological
complications of diabetes.
- The production of
sorbitol and gluconic acid from fructose and glucose, respectively, by
the glucosefructose- oxidorredutase enzyme (GFOR) present in Z. mobilis
periplasm has been greatly explored. Z. mobilis metabolizes sucrose,
glucose, and fructose by means of Entner Doudoroff pathway, where the
gluconic acid produced is transformed into ethanol by the
gluconalactonase enzyme. The methodology of cell permeabilization has
been explored in the sense of an increase of sorbitol production and
gluconic acid, preventing the formation of ethanol.
- Sorbitol and sucrose
are major products of photosynthesis distributed in apple trees that
affect quality in fruit. Transgenic apple plants were silenced or
up-regulated for sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase by using the CaMV35S
promoter to define the role of sorbitol distribution in fruit
development.
- Sorbitol is used in
various cough syrups, and is usually listed under the inactive
ingredients. Too much sorbitol (from 10 to 50g, or more for adults) can
cause gastro-intestinal problems.
- Sorbitol can be used as a
non-stimulant [laxative] by either in oral suspension or suppository
form. The drug works by drawing water into the large intestine, thereby
stimulating bowel movements.
- Sorbitol is used as a
humectant in many types of products for protection against loss of
moisture content. The moisture-stabilizing and textural properties of
sorbitol are used in the production of confectionery, baked goods and
chocolate where products tend to
become dry or harden. Its
moisture-stabilizing action protects these products from drying and
maintains their initial freshness during storage.
- Sorbitol, also referred
to as D-glucitol, is naturally found in many fruits (e.g., berries,
cherries, and apples). The worldwide production of sorbitol is estimated
to be higher than 500,000 tons/year, and the market is continuously
increasing . This polyol has a relative sweetness of around 60% compared
to that of sucrose and displays a 20-fold higher solubility in water
than mannitol . Based on these properties, sorbitol is widely used in a
range of food products such as confectionery, chewing gum, candy,
desserts, ice cream, and diabetic foods.
- Sorini started its
commercial production in 1987 with the annual capacity of 5,000 tons of
liquefied sorbitol.At the same year, with spirits to develop and to be
world’s known as a sorbitol producer, it launched its export sales using
“INDOSORB” brand. The brand has been registered since 1989.
- However, not
only is the brand used for international market, but domestic trade as
well. Certainly, Sorini believes the export market will become world
without borders in trades. Currently the annual capacity of liquefied
sorbitol and STBC powder reaches 55,000 tons.
