Sorbit [zɔrˈbiːt] (der Sorbit, auch das Sorbitol, Glucitol oder Hexanhexol) zählt zu den Alditolen (Zuckeralkoholen) und findet in vielen industriell hergestellten Lebensmitteln (Lebensmittelzusatzstoff E 420) als Zuckeraustauschstoff, Trägerstoff sowie Feuchthaltemittel Verwendung. Sorbit ist die reduzierte Polyolform der Hexosen Glucose, Fructose und Sorbose und kann aus diesen durch katalytische oder elektrochemische Hydrierung hergestellt werden.
