SORBITOL FROM MAIZE STARCH (PRODUCTION RATE – 30 TPD)
[EIRI/EDPR/4594] J.C.: 2811NAIRA, 2811INR
INTRODUCTION
Sorbitol, as a hexahydric alcohol, is a member of the polyhydric alcohol family, the lowest of which are ethylene glycol and glycerol. The close chemical relationship between Sorbitol and the lower alcohols (like glycol and glycerol) is responsible for the similarity in their general physical properties and applications in industrial technology.
Sorbitol is soluble in water to approximately 83 parts Sorbitol in 100 parts of water by weight. Viscosity as well as specific gravity of Sorbitol 70% solution is higher than that of glycerin at the same concentration. Sorbitol is extremely useful as humectant. Because it is stable and non-volatile even with water vapour, there is no loss during heating or cooking or by evaporation. Unlike ethylene glycol, Sorbitol is non-toxic and non-irritant. The taste of Sorbitol is mild, sweet, cooling, and unobtrusive. Sorbitol is more resistant to bacteriological degradation than sugar. This resistance also makes it less vulnerable to mould growth than most other humectant plasticizing material.
Sorbitol is chemically inert and compatible with many chemical substances. In general, the hexitols and particularly Sorbitol has the ability to chelate iron, copper and aluminum ions in aqueous solutions. Sorbitol undergoes several chemical reactions like oxidation, reduction, esterification and etherification, yielding such important products as ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), Sorbitansorbides etc.
In general, hexitols and their derivatives particularly One of the major uses of Sorbitol is as a humectant and conditioning agent. Many products under day-to-day atmospheric changes require the addition of a humectant to assist them to retain their freshness, softness and flexibility and to maintain ideal manufacturing conditions.
D-sorbitol or Sorbitol 70% as it is more widely known is a polyol belonging to the group of linear hexitols. Chemically it is a Hexahydic Alcohol with a molecular weight of 182.2. Its empirical formula is C6H14O6. Sorbitol is available in abundance in most of the fruits like Black Grapes, Apples, Plums, Cherries with D-Sorbitol content ranging between 0.5%to 10%.
Despite this, sorbitol is manufactured synthetically by hydrogenation of Glucose Syrup in the presence of Raney Nickel Catalyst.
