D-Iditol, also known as D-isoduritol or D-Sorbitol, is a sugar alcohol compound. It is a colorless crystalline powder with a sweet taste, soluble in water and ethanol.
D-Iditol have multiple uses. First of all, it is widely used as a food additive, as a low-calorie sweetener, can replace sucrose, and has moisturizing and preservative properties, suitable for making candy, chocolate, biscuits, etc. Secondly, it can also be used as a sweetener and flavoring agent for toothpastes, lip care products, oral medications, and the like.
The production method of D-Iditol is usually obtained by reacting glucose and hydrogen under pressure and heating under the action of a catalyst. This process converts glucose to iditol through a hydrogenation reaction.
Regarding safety information, D-Iditol is considered relatively safe and approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for use as a food additive. It has no significant side effects for most people, but can cause digestive problems such as diarrhea and bloating when ingested in larger doses. In addition, for certain groups of people, such as those who are sensitive to sugar alcohols or have inherited metabolic diseases, consuming too much D-Iditol may cause discomfort and other health problems. Therefore, when using D-Iditol, it is recommended to take it in moderation and consult a doctor or dietitian for advice based on personal conditions.
