DescriptionSorbitol, also known as neosorb or D-glucitol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohols. These are hydrogenated forms of carbohydrate in which the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone, reducing sugar) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. Sorbitol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Sorbitol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. sorbitol can be converted into keto-D-fructose; which is catalyzed by the enzyme sorbitol dehydrogenase. In yeast, sorbitol is involved in the metabolic pathway called the fructose metabolism pathway.
