A type of carbohydrate, sorbitol is widely used as an alternative to sugar as it has a lower caloric value. It is present in fruits such as apples, pears, peaches, apricots, prunes, raisins, etc.; and can also be chemically extracted from glucose. Sorbitol is a highly viscous and non-volatile substance and is available in both crystalline and liquid forms.
