Identification
Name D-Sorbitol
Accession Number DB01638 (EXPT02939)
Type small molecule
Groups experimental
Description

A polyhydric alcohol with about half the sweetness of sucrose. Sorbitol occurs naturally and is also produced synthetically from glucose. It was formerly used as a diuretic and may still be used as a laxative and in irrigating solutions for some surgical procedures. It is also used in many manufacturing processes, as a pharmaceutical aid, and in several research applications. [PubChem]
