arabitol

Manufactured directly by Jinan Honest Pharm to Chinese Pharmacopoeia (ChP) standards at Chemical Grade, L-Arabitol (CAS 7643-75-6) is a naturally occurring five-carbon sugar alcohol found in fungi, lichens, and some plants, with a mild sweetness (roughly 60-70% of sucrose) and low caloric value (2.4 kcal/g). The listing describes uses as a sugar substitute in diabetic and sugar-free foods, as a pharmaceutical excipient or sustained-release agent, as a moisturizing cosmetic ingredient, and as a precursor in bio-based chemical synthesis, noting GRAS status and a possible laxative effect at excessive intake. It is distributed to North America, Central/South America, Western Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
