Sorbitol contains approximately 60% of the sweetness of sucrose due to which it is a preferred sweetener for a variety of food products such as diet foods, diet drinks, ice creams, mints, cough syrups and sugar-free chewing gums. The primary factor encouraging its applications in the food industry is the fact that it has fewer calories as compared to other sweeteners.
