Sorbitol, also known as glucitol , is a sugar alcohol, which the human body meta bolizes
slowly. It can be obtained by reduction of glucose, changing the aldehyde group to a
hydroxyl group. Most sorbitol is made from corn syrup, but it is also found in
apples, pears, peaches, and prunes. It is synthesized by sorbitol-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase, and converted to fructose by succinate dehydrogenase and sorbitol
dehydrogenase. Succinate dehydrogenase is an enzyme complex that participates
in the citric acid cycle.
