Sorbitol

Chef Lab Sorbitol is a natural polyalcohol (E-240) of plant origin, usually obtained from glucose. It provides a soft and clean sweetness, making it an essential multifunctional technical ingredient in high-end pastry and professional ice cream making.

It acts as an excellent humectant, retaining moisture in doughs and ganaches to prevent them from drying out and extending their shelf life. In addition, thanks to its high antifreeze power, it allows for much creamier and more spreadable ice creams and sorbets at low temperatures without adding excessive sweetness, while preventing sugar crystallization.
