D-Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol produced by reduction of glucose. The compound is a polyol found in fruits such as apples, prunes, peaches, and pears. D-Sorbitol – is a sugar alcohol with a sweet taste which the human body metabolizes slowly. It can be obtained by reduction of glucose, which changes the converted aldehyde group (−CHO) to a primary alcohol group (−C(OH)H2).
