# Non-crystallising sorbitol for humectant applications: are all grades equal?

Sorbitol is used as a humectant across confectionery, pharma and personal care, but performance seems to vary by grade.

- Have you found meaningful differences between suppliers’ non-crystallising grades?
- How do you test humectancy before committing to a full batch?
- Does crystal form (or solution concentration) change your choice?

Curious how much of the difference is real and how much is spec-sheet marketing.
