Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is a sugar alcohol (or polyol) derived from glucose. It has a similar molecular structure to glucose, but instead of an aldehyde group, it features an additional hydroxyl group, which gives it unique properties. This chemical difference contributes to sorbitol’s reduced sweetness and caloric content compared to glucose and other sugars.
