Polyols, or sugar alcohols, are polyhydric alcohols produced by hydrogenation or fermentation of different carbohydrates. Chemically, polyols are derived from mono- and disaccharides. Some polyols are
Glucose | Sorbitol | |
Xylose | Xylitol | |
Fructose | Sorbitol / Mannitol |
Saccharose (Glucose-Fructose) | Isomalt (Glucose-Sorbitol / Mannitol) | |
Lactose (Glucose-Galactose) | Lactitol (Sorbitol-Galactose) | |
Maltose (Glucose-Glucose) | Maltitol (Glucose-Sorbitol) |
SIGMA and BIAZZI offer together units to produce out of natural sources, hydrogenated polyols for food and pharmaceuticals.
