Is Sorbitol Natural?
Sorbitol is a "sugar alcohol" that occurs naturally in various fruits (apples, peaches,
nectarines, plums, grapes, cherries, apricots, pears, rose hips, berries,
dates, coconut) at levels of 1% or more. Wasabi can contain up to 11%, and
common dried fruits (prunes, pears) almost the same level. Of course, beer would
be expected to have small amounts, as well.
Sorbitol can be commericially produced from glucose. Non-GMO sources are available.
