هل سوربيتول حلال؟

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol (polyol) found naturally in some fruits and plants. It is a white, crystalline powder with a sweet taste, about 60% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar). Commercially, it is often produced by the enzymatic hydrogenation of glucose. Sorbitol is widely used in the food industry as a sweetener, humectant (to retain moisture), and texturizer. It is commonly found in sugar-free candies, chewing gum, diet foods, and baked goods. In addition to its role in food, sorbitol is also used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other industrial applications.
