Sorbitol, a polyol (sugar alcohol), is a bulk sweetener found in numerous food products. In addition to providing sweetness, it is an excellent humectant and texturizing agent. Sorbitol is about 60 percent as sweet as sucrose with one-third fewer calories. It has a smooth mouthfeel with a sweet, cool and pleasant taste. It is non-cariogenic and may be useful to people with diabetes.
Sorbitan monostearate is made from sorbitol (a plant-based alcohol) and stearic acid, which is a fatty acid that occurs in plants and animals.Knowing something about manufacturing of industrial chemicals, I would say that stearic acid might be made from plant or animal fats, whichever is most available and cheapest.uestion from KCribley. Recently I discovered that the baking yeast I purchase (and most of them that I looked at) have Sorbitan Monostearate added. I am a very frequent baker/breadmaker (almost every day) and wonder if I need to be concerned about this ingredient.
