NEOSORB® sorbitol HDS - Introduction
NEOSORB® Liquid

NEOSORB® Liquid is a large family of Roquette polyol compounds containing sorbitol and other hydrogenated long chain oligomers and polymers.
NEOSORB® solutions can be used as substitutes for sucrose and meet organoleptic (sweetening power) and dietetic requirements (i e they are sugar-free, low-calorie, do not induce dental caries, and may be advised for diabetics).
Different grades of NEOSORB® Liquid are used as bulk sweeteners in syrups, suspensions, oral ampoules, lozenges, pastilles, as well as in excipients for pan-coating or in humectants for paste and topical preparations.
