Description

Sorbitol USP

Sorbitol USP is a high-purity, water-soluble sugar alcohol used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications as a sweetener, humectant, and excipient. Compliant with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards, it provides consistent solubility, sweetness, and stability for oral, topical, and parenteral formulations. Sorbitol
• Is a USP-compliant sugar alcohol for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food use
• Is used as a sweetener, humectant, and excipient
• Is suitable for oral solutions, syrups, tablets, capsules, and topical formulations
• Supports taste masking, moisture retention, and formulation stability
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Sorbitol USP is chemically designated as D-Glucitol (C6H14O6). It appears as a white, crystalline powder or granular solid, freely soluble in water and compatible with a variety of excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
In pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications, Sorbitol USP is used in:
• Oral solutions, syrups, and chewable tablets for improved taste
• Effervescent powders and sugar-free formulations
• Topical gels, creams, and ointments as a humectant
• Parenteral nutrition solutions as an osmotic agent and energy source
• Research and development of low-calorie or sugar-free formulations
Sorbitol USP provides sweetness without contributing to tooth decay, supports moisture retention in formulations, and enhances the stability of labile actives. Its non-hygroscopic grades are particularly useful in solid dosage forms.
CarboMer supplies Sorbitol USP with control over assay, moisture content, particle size, and microbial purity. Material meets USP monograph specifications and is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale volumes. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation including CoA and SDS are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR, HPLC), assay, water content, pH, heavy metals, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer excipients and functional ingredients, Sorbitol USP is supported by formulation guidance, regulatory expertise, and reliable global supply to ensure safe, effective, and compliant product performance.
