Polyols

Essentially known for their sweetening power, some polyols have nutritional and technological characteristics that are of interest for animal nutrition.

This is the case of sorbitol with its detoxifying action on the liver that makes it a highly recommended ingredient as a complement in the animal feeding industry.

As a stabilizer and a humectant, sorbitol allows a lowering of the water activity (or Aw) of finished products and in that way modifying their texture while improving their preservation.
