Sorbitol

Sorbitol (DC – Directly Compressible) is specifically designed to assist tablet manufacturers in making high quality chewable, mints, gums or sublingual tablets. Due to its low sweetness profile, great binding and flowing properties, it is also often used as a filler in regular dietary supplements and pharmaceutical tablets.

This product was specifically developed to help our customers that are looking to create confectionery products similar to Sweet Tarts™, breath mints (Polos™/Life Savers™), Pez™ or Tic Tacs™. While the sweetness profile is very short and low with Sorbitol, it has a cooling effect that our current customers use to enhance the taste of mints in particular.

Simply add your flavoring, active ingredient and coloring and the Sorbitol DC grade will act as the binder and flowing agent. It is important to note that depending on the active ingredient you might be required to add an anti-caking agent to the mix.Sorbitol DC has a glycemic index of 4 which compared to 65 that regular sugars have, it is considered very low. Because of this LFA’s Sorbitol DC is good for diabetic diets and products that are sold into health-conscious markets.
