Sorbitol

Food additive E 420 (sorbitol) is a sweetener widely used in the confectionery industry. Sorbitol is considered safe for consumption and is approved for use in many countries as a food additive.

In its dry form, it appears as a fine white crystalline powder (granules) with no odor and a mildly sweet, cooling taste. It occurs naturally in several fruits, such as apples and pears, as well as in certain berries. Sorbitol has a pleasant sweetness, making it an excellent sweetener for candies. It provides the desired level of sweetness while containing fewer calories than regular sugar. Sorbitol also has a low glycemic index, meaning it does not cause a sharp increase in blood sugar levels after consumption. This makes it suitable for people with diabetes or those monitoring their blood glucose levels.
